Ever tite self adjusting rod (spring loaded) bolts to compensate for out-of-round rod journals. I wonder how many miles were put on the prototype.

RE: "Insure your bearings for 50,000 miles"
I've often said that just about all automotive innovations used in modern cars can be found in one form or another, pre WW II. However...I'm not at all sure this would work on any engine, especially one that had a CR of over 4:1 operated at anything over 1500 rpm !
So many of these 'snake oil' products were about making money or proving some crackpot inventors pet project 'back in the day'. I'm betting my money on this one as being right in there with the rest.
Thanks for posting this...keeps me grounded.

This is what I would expect to see in the back of Popular Mechanics.

Not much new in the automotive engineering world. Pretty much all of it has been tried once or twice.
