The old 216 & 235 chev dipper engines ran at 14 psi oil pressure. There was a nozzle in the pan that sprayed into the dipper & GM had a tool for aligning those nozzles so the oil actually sprayed in the right direction. Imagine the actual oil pressure into the rod when that engine is wound up with the dipper catching that spray of oil. I laid under more than a few. It was a doggone old 41 chev that got me into the wrenching business. I bought it and six days later it broke the crankshaft and block. When I looked it over , before buying, the rear main was leaking pretty bad. The dealer pulled pan and replaced seal, or part of it at least. He must have tightened that rear main putting a strain on crank to cause it to break shortly. Never know. But, anyway, I put a 48' 235 engine in it. Next year, drove it 1300 miles to Atlanta while in Army to attend engine rebuild school, sold it for 40 bucks, end of story.
Chev used babbited rods until going to replaceable inserts in the 53 power glide and all engines next year.
