yeah that main is GONE... i am in the process of rebuilding my 1929 engine. i removed the brass inserts and sent them out to be rebabbit, then having a local shop grind and polish the crank and then line bore it to match the crank. the 1929 does NOT have replaceable inserts, but the brass portion pops out and you can have them poured and rough cut. then final cut at line bore. also sent out my connecting rods to get them poured and machined to match the polished crank. Pauls Rod & Bearings did the work, great place and top notch. Russ is a great guy to work and deal with.
got tons of pictures of everything coming apart, and going back together, the engine is still in the shop stuck in the midst of this pandemic.
here are a few shots of the old ones
fyi you can put a 1930 head on a 1929 without any issues !! 1929 was a one year only on many things
