Yes, F20 con rod bearings are replaceable insert bearings. Brass backed with babbitt wear surface.

Kirk, while the inserts are somewhat similar to the more modern bearings, the fact they have adjusting shims makes them different and I don't think crush applies like it does on a thin insert. They fit into the rod with a slight interference fit and the thick heavy shell and shims hold them in place. The force necessary to crush them like a modern rod and insert would be huge. Not sure the existing components could take it.
