AAZ rod wear @tangs
« on: June 05, 2023, 09:01:39 pm »
Is this normal? All the rods have some level of these marks and I can feel them. Pics of the bearings too, i mixes up the caps and rods but im assuming the ones with the visible 'trough' in the middle are the rod ones, pictured below.

 No I don't think that's normal.
It probably won't hurt anything.
 Does the other side of the bearing look different? Is it causing the bearing to wear different?

My mistake, the following must've been on the rod side, they match the patterns on the rod shells but in color only...there is no perceptible wear on them:
