I couldn't find anyone who handled this bearing it was listed but not available. I called antiqueengineering rebuilders and they have the full length mains that should replace these as the housing bore is the same. The cause was oil not getting across the insert. The oil feed hole was almost covered up by the insert but if a oil grove had been put in it I was told by another rebuilder that it would have got enough ol but there was no path across the insert.
