What's up with my rod bearings

John Cummins · 12-24-2001, 07:44 PM

I'm building 302 for nitrous and a supercharger. I just started to install my rod bearings and I noticed holes in the bearings. Not just one all the rod bearing. The stock rod bearings and bearings at worked i looked at dont have these holes. I called Summit tech line and they said I did have the right bearings. He said they are possibly for dowl pins on some rods. I'm scared shitless I'm going to spin bearing. If these are here for a reason somebody let me know, thank you Jason

The bearings should have the holes this is how the oil gets to the bearing, I thought the stock ones had it too, it should have

Good Luck
