I finally got a rod and piston to put on this engine. I took out the other piston and rod to check bearing and journal condition. On the rod where the hell is the bearing? This is the rod that did not break, so the bearing has to be there, am I seeing things? It doesn't look like a Bearing on there.

Also are the rods and Pistons loyal to a side of the engine? Aka a left and right side. Plus my new piston has a number 2 inside it and both my old Pistons say number 1. New piston seems to be exactly like my old ones.... This is a learning experience, but fun. Pictures...

Well

They don’t have rod bearings in a b or p engine.

That's a hell of a deal. The replacement rod I have has black scuffs and I can feel with my finger so it is either gouged or deposited on it. Hopefully just burnt oil spots. I hope it measures out in spec.

Well I decided to wrap this project up, I'm just not an engine guy, can't seem to figure out a micrometer, always wondering if they are accurate, am I doing it right ect ect. I didn't even mark the rod caps or take note of the orientation in the block.

I'm taking it all to a local engine shop so they can use it for parts for customers. I'm just lucky I don't have a ton of money I to this. Oh well. Goodbye Onan.
