Abstract
A powder metal bearing support insert for casting into an engine component includes a pair of holes formed by interdigitated slots during a powder metal compaction process. Since they are formed by interdigitated slots, this pair of holes may receive the cast material therein during the casting step. Among other things, the cast material in these holes may be drilled or machined using tools graded to work the material of the casting in contrast to the material of the insert.
