is the 3-4 rod journal most Likely to suffer from oil starvation and burn the bearings on a hemi?
If so, why and what is the cure?
Thanks, joel

No. Why would you think so? The HEMI is the same as any RB.

I bought a Hemi years ago in "unknown" condition. when I tore It down the number 3 rod bearing was toast. Then I blew up another one in 2010 when I accidentally over-revved it. Rod Number 3 went thru the side of the block and when I looked at the #3 crank journal it was all black. So I'm just wondering if it is a Pattern

It was either tight or had some trash blocking the
port... actually the number 7 is the weak one if I
remember right

Just bad luck or poor assembly techniques.
