To make sure the crankshaft and
connecting rods survive, I'm using
Clevite 77 bearings. These bearing
have a long history of being some of the best.

This is what the rod bearings look
like. If you haven't seen one before, it's not like a ball-bearing type
but is a bearing non the less. Oil is pumped into this area through the
holes in the crankshaft which in turn has the crank and rods riding on a
cushion of oil. These have a steel back with a multi-coating (layers) of
different materials that are for lubricating along with the oil. The
main bearings look like this as well but a different size.

Here is the rods I went with. There
made be
Eagle and are an H-beam design. What's a H-beam? Well if you
took one and cut in half, then looked down on it you would see it
resembled an H. Let's take a closer look so you can see for yourself.
