Abstract
Modern highly loaded engines, particularly long life diesel engines, require main and connecting‐rod bearings that combine fatigue and wear resistance with an ability to absorb dirt and cater for slight misalignment. With the extended oil drain intervals, corrosion resistance is also ever important.
