360 Con rod bearing quick question

Plymouth 65 said

It will not make a difference, built many engines and it's common. These are plane bearings and have an oil film between the crank throw and rod bearings. Just make sure your clearances are correct and
Install the bearings as they are, never take a file/grinder to any bearing IMO! 65'

Back in the day, Chrysler used to put on drag seminars. THEY specifically stated that even filing side grooves on thrust bearings was a way to increase oiling to the thrust surfaces of the bearing. I did it to all my hemi cranks after Tom Hoover told me that. I had asked him about loosing a crank because of the thrust bearing going bad. As u may or may not,know he was called the godfather of the hemi.I know an 18 time national record holder that I HAVE SEEN , POLISH BEARINGS TOO. I have done that a time or two w/ no problems, altho there needs to be a specific reason for it.
