[Shotimes] RE: Rod Bearing Confusion

[Kirk Doucette]

Sounds like the other set could be a larger set from the factory, maybe a
mis ground crank or a defect in the rod. I would do some measuring before
you reinstall.  Then again it could be just a date code for all I know.

Subject: Rod Bearing Confusion

Hopefully somebody can clear up this confusion for me.  I am in the middle
of changing the rod bearings on my SHO since I was already doing a clutch
replacement, and it is easiest to access the pan now.

I have removed all six sets of bearings, however I only noticed markings on
the bearings as I removed the last set (the one closest to the rear of the
engine).  The first 5 sets have D4H on them, and the last set D4D.  There is
also a small logo.  The "oddball" set of bearings also appears to look the
best of all of them.  Overall, the other bearings aren't too bad and only
the top bearings even have any copper showing on them.  I can get pictures
of the writing and bearings if it would be helpful to see.  What I need to
know if these numbers possibly signify a different size bearing.  All of the
new bearings that I have are the standard size.  Thanks in advance for any
help!
