ABSTRACT:
An engine bearing for an internal combustion engine has a pair of separately constructed bearing halves comprising a pair of arcuate shells having a pair of laterally spaced flanges extending generally radially outwardly from each shell. Each pair of laterally spaced flanges comprises a pair of thrust faces facing generally away from one another with one of the thrust faces comprising an undulating contoured surface and the other thrust face having a generally planar non-contoured surface. The engine bearing is assembled having the contoured surface of one engine bearing half abutting the non-contoured surface of the other engine bearing half so that the engine bearing has generally opposite sides comprising both contoured and non-contoured surfaces.
