Connecting rod journals are the part of the crankshaft where the connecting rods attach to. There is one rod journal for each piston/connecting rod in the engine. These journals have a machined surface so the connecting rod bearings can move smoothly as the crankshaft rotates.

I know that the stock connecting rod journal diameter is 2.123"
on a crankshaft you have a crank journal (more commonly called a main journal) and a rod journal. the main journals of the crankshaft are where and how the crankshaft is held in the block. the rod journals are where your connecting rods are attached to.

small journal cranks can be ground to a minimum of 1.9585 (rod journals) big journal cranks 2.0685 ( rod journals)
The weight of the piston, rings, and connecting rod is concentrated out at the rod journal. As the crank spins, it throws that weight around. The counterweight is on the opposite side from the rod journal to offset this weight. This is why when you replace pistons or rods, the crank is rebalanced by adding or removing material from the counterweight.
The connecting rod journal is also commonly referred to as the "big end" of the connecting rod. It is the part of the connecting rod that connects to the crankshaft, allowing for the conversion of linear motion of the piston into rotational motion. This component is critical for the engine's operation, as it facilitates the transfer of power generated during combustion.
The connecting rod journal is also called the crankpin. It is the part of the connecting rod that rotates around the crankshaft, connecting the piston to the crankshaft and converting linear motion into rotational motion. The crankpin allows for the movement of the piston as the engine cycles through its power strokes.
That is another word for---The place on the crankshaft were the rod bearings are and were the crankshaft bearings are.
There are 5 main journals and 4 rod journals. Each rod journal holds 2 rods.
The main journal radius, rod journal radius or otherwise both are known as the fillet.
Just bought new rods with 2.10" journals
