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.
