Speaking as a retired railroad Machinist/Mechanic: A General Motors,Electro Motive Division 16V645 (V16,645 cubic inch per cylinder)Locomotive 2 cycle engine idles at 200 RPM,top goverened speed is 800 RPM, Stroke is 10 inch"s. Horsepower is around 3000, depending of if the engine is super- charged or turbo charged. I am not aware of any specific bearing problems. Back in the 1970"s, as part of preventave maintanance we used to change out the bottom connecting rod bearings. Only the bottom, as, on a 2 cycle engine, there was power on the downstroke, and compression on the upstroke so only the bottom bearing insert shell was subject to any major wear. We seldom noticed any unusual wear,and it the late 70"s we quit doing the changeout, as it wasn"t cost effective. Locomotive main bearing and connecting rod bearings were silver plated, and detection of silver in the oil is a part of oil sample analysis, now, as indication of bearing wear.
