Consider the ability of the rod to stay round. OEM rods, when stressed in a racing application, will distort and elongate. The bearing will decrease the clearances at the parting line, creating a scraper and wiping the oil from the rod journal. Yes, I was very happy with NHRA allowing quality, aftermarket rods.
