I need to locate a source for two connecting rod bearing shell sets. The dimensions are 38mm and 36 mm journal diameter by 22mm
width con rod. I have been unable to find a catalogue of bearings by specification. Any help will be appreciated.

Call around to local parts houses and/or bearing manufacturers & see if
you find someone who has that index in their head?

Most parts guys, when confronted by an oddball request like that, will
recoil like you slapped them with a three-day-dead fish. Make friends
with the ones that don't.

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" was written for you.

The old Federal Mogul and Perfect Circle books had a listing by size for
such needs. Looked them up many times. I still have some of those
squirreled away out at the shop, and the warehouse probably has one, and
maybe even someone who knows how to use it.

What is the application?
What bearing shell thickness can the caps handle?
You will need to determine the con rod bore, crush amount and oiling
alignment.
38MM is a common journal size in import engines. The width could be a
problem though.

91 Honda CRX HF 1.5 liter used a 38MM rod bearing.

I'm building a race motor. I can make the crank and the con rods. I can't make the bearings.
