Terry,

Engine was converted to inserts, so the 1/2 bearings just roll up into the grooves machined into the block, and both are held in place by the rear main cap.

Kurt,

My finger tells me its very smooth, and the worn down side of the bearing itself appears relatively smooth as well, with some very lite scoring, but nothing approaching deep grooves.

Appreciate the replies!

Bud
