Cage bearing or stacked
Building a monster Big Johnson 3.3 long rod ,back liner ported ,DBR spect sleeves an pistons I have built plenty of rebuilds question is 3 ltr have loose needles and 3.3 have caged rod bearings piston side / personally I think more needles better load distribution on wristpin an rod end 3.3 were loafing as a injected engine this one will be close to 380 + hp any thoughts on this ??

I like the caged with a single needle in each slot. all needles can skew and have more friction at high rpm/load

yes it all about the rolling friction at high revs, hence caged in race motors.
