Connecting Rod Bearing Set

It's a good idea during a re-build to have your connecting rods balanced by a reputable machine shop to ensure an even-weighted rotating mass and greater engine longevity. Note: As 356A rod bearings are no longer available, the use of the later bearings may require machining a notch into the opposite side of the rod, or updating to the later connecting rods.
