Abstract
A bearing is disclosed. The bearing includes a first half shell and an eccentric second half shell, the first half shell and the second half shell configured to connect at a joint to form a cylindrical bearing. The first half shell has a first crown thickness at a first crown of the first half shell, and a first wall thickness between the first crown and the joint. The second half shell has a second crown thickness at a second crown of the second half shell, and a second wall thickness between the second crown and the joint. The second crown thickness is greater than the first crown thickness, and the first wall thickness is equal to the second wall thickness at a point of equal thickness between 10 and 60 degrees from the joint.
