Scat stroker crank main bearing question xtra clearance bearings?

And of course a lot of Chevy guys have abandoned their own rod journal sizes for the Honda 1.89" size....

Assuming the electric car doesn't kill the internal combustion engine by next year, I predict we'll see 1" rod journals soon.

Yeah, I like the SBC SJ stuff too, but I don’t know about taking a 2.125 throw all the way down to the Honda journal size.

I think it will move the oil feed hole right to the edge of the bearing, and I’m not sure I like that.

I did turn a BBM crank that was BBC journal down to 2.100 and that was close. I got beat up pretty good for that one too, but it was actually very cool because it reduced the big end weight of the rod a ton.

And that was when you could buy Groden aluminum rods, by FAR the best aluminum rod ever made.

That engine was a serious overachiever.
