So I've started assembling bits on my engine. All the new rod bearings all have cracks here where the tang is. Is this normal or are these bin fodder?

They came in a "King Bearings" box so I was surprised they were County inside..

King bearings own county. Buy the King HD ones.
Or ACL HD which are available again.

Well, they are better than the ones I got by an ordering mistake on my part, std County aluminium tin ones in a King box.
