Just a follow up... dad took the engine apart to freshen... the rod & main bearings look like they haven't been installed yet! I'm talking brand new! How ever the rings are shot!!! end gap .030

I used to use Vandervell back in the 80's, now I use Kings.

The new King bearings are impossible to get in "under sizes". I was told by King that this would be remedied soon, but most are still waiting.

Calico Clevite H mains in SBC's, thrust bearing width is thinner than the ACL.

ACL h bearings

Are coated bearings used because they are slicker,or because they last longer? Can you use these with less oil pressure then? I don't know anything about parts coating,as you can tell? thanks.
