Myth: it is possible to install a 928 rod bearing "wrong" and have it hit the crank radius.

Fact: it is not possible to install a 928 rod bearing , assuming you put the tang in the slot, and have it hit the crank radius due to the geometry of the rod big end and the rod centerline. The rod has "additional" material to run against the crank, thus requiring no bevel on the bearings or marking them with an "upper" or "lower" as is the case with "chevys" and the like. It really is an idiot proof" install.

That's what I thought... however, it is easy to score/scratch the crank if you're not careful.

I dont know Marc, remember when i almost installed the bearings with assembly lube on the back side of the bearing???

I had a prof that said "Nothing is absolutely fool-proof. We have yet to contemplate the sophistication of the ultimate fool."
