Well, I appear to be stuck. I can’t find a source for main bearings for my 1954 235 overhaul. They are the dowel type. .010” or .020” under hasn’t been determined yet. We wanted to see if the bearings were even available before grinding. The machine shop ran into a dead end as did Chevys of the 40’s.
Any suggestions or anyone have a set? I’m willing to modify to the other type of bearing like “Hotrod Lincoln” talks about on the forum, but I don’t have enough history on the site to allow a PM to him. I don’t know enough to know if that mod is even possible.
Darn it! It was going pretty smoothly until this hiccup. No cracks, never been bored. Ran great before teardown, just high oil consumption. Basically just worn out.
Thanks for any info!
