Or course, the downside is that needle bearings are less reliable versus journal bearings.
I'd imagine service interval is a lot shorter for these needle bearings versus journal bearings.
If you're building a "race engine", this is not going to matter.

What would make the needle bearing less reliable vs journal?
Thanks.
