    Does it really matter if the inserts rotate in the rod?

    Frank, that was a "bad thing" to have bearing inserts rotate when
    I went to Vo-Tech in 1975. I presume you loose some heat transfer
    between the inserts and rod if the inserts are loose. Also, if
    the inserts rotated too much, I suppose they could wear.
    That being said, "I have no idea if it would matter in my situation!"

    Prepare to be boarded!
