...The thing I would like to know is, does it have needle bearings on the rod & what other improvements did they make, to insure it will last and not overheat?

John,

From the [link=http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/214463.asp]Part's description and photo[/link], it seems to be the standard, bronze-bushed item.
This does not wear-out quickly, but requires 5% oil (a needle-bearing rod will do very nicely with 1-2%).

The price, however, suggests it has needle-bearings... The normal, bushed con-rod should cost less than a 1/4, of the $50 they charge for this rod...

The head, however, does seem to have capacity for added cooling; with additional, wide horizontal spans, instead of the short fins.
