Argh!

Just when we were ready to complete putting the bottom end back together (we got the crank in and ready), we laid out the rod bearings and found that 10 of the 16 bearings have the oil galleys, and the other 6 did NOT have them!  Interesting thing is that they came from 8 boxes, and all the part numbers on the boxes are identical.
 
This might not be an issue for you guys, but for me this is a 2-3 day setback since I can't get these bearings on the island, and have to see if anyone in Anchorage has them - if not I have to mail order from the lower-48.  We were all set to get the bottom end done and "buttoned up" - but NO!
 
Not sure if Clevite is to blame, or if the machine shop we bought them from swapped 'em out - either way it's frusterating!
 
Thanks for letting me vent...
Andy
