Fewer friction points, yeah..

I wasn't going to run it with a am bearing,I was using it on my builder case so I could degree a cylinder.
I just happened to notice it when I took it out of the bag.
I posted this to remind people to look
Some may not have noticed that and used it.
I've had 2 am wrist pin bearings fail and haven't used one in over a year and never will.
There complete junk

(Very low hour 066 flat top of mine.)
Bearing was never there. If it was, it got puked out without touching anything.

I have seen that before in a short case 066 that was just fine.

This wrist pin bearing was that way,it never was there.

I ran the snot out of that 066 for a short period of time.
I almost never even caught it before I put the cylinder back on.
Needless to say, I found a donor crank.

I've seen a missing needle in other applications run a long long time. Universals for example. Although very different much the same. The points of contact that are still there can carry damn near the same load for a long time. I damn sure check to be sure all of them are there before I'd install it. What I'm saying I guess is I've seen it but I damn sure don't trust it

The Meteor I got from HLS came with one and the one I got from Dave didn't. But I will clarify that when I ordered the one from HLS it showed up as a line item like I ordered it just with no price next to it. And I have no idea what brand it is ether.

I would dig a 20 year old used oem one out of the trash and run it before I'd use a am one.
Lots of good aftermarket parts out there,wrist pin bearings aren't one of them.
