big end

The big end reciprocates in a thrusting motion and at speed which increases friction on the side walls.

The larger end of one's rod rotating at high speeds developing thrust but requires excessive lubrication to reduce excessive frictional markings or blueing of both the shaft and bore.
Wow my big end has serious thrust damage.
