The other thing about sleeve bearings is that when the crank is rotating inside it, it is carrying a wedge of oil with it which is really why the bearings don't wear out you are not resting on the metal at all, it is rotating within a thin hydraulic wedge of oil. This condition also spreads the load over a much larger area of the bearing during the power stroke.
