What the heck are you trying to do, Jerry? You know that you can "Reply" to your own thread, or better yet, edit the post as opposed to starting new threads with slightly modified titles?
my brain is starting to hurt :confused::LOL:

Repair for aluminum hemi------Kind of like a hemi main sleeve???????????//almost bow tie shaped!!!!!!
sorry i ruined the post for you jerry i not making or keeping any friends today work on a dry block engine that had spacers under the mains but looked like they cut down some iron sleeves to fit in mains . were do you get the inserts ? just did a aluminum V8 engine on the old T/A line bore with powder metal caps was worried about the finish is was going to get . but the old flat top T/A did not let me down she really did very nice finish with the coated carbide lacey willams cutter on itQuote:

I have bored out individual mains and had crank journal turned to fit some other bearing on some exotic deals that were too $$$$$to replace but too good to throw away---thats what the progressive size chart areas of bearing cataloques are good for--for example, i think i did a 400sbc bearing into a Mercedes something or other for a few hundred dollars when a new block and crank were thousands and not available-----
540 6 lycoming i just about fell over on the price of the mains for one of them things . i have a spray welder not to far from the shop that i have has back up if ones hurt bad were the crank can not go up any more . the deal fell threw on the 260 berco crank grinder so there allmost no one i trust to grind a crank under size for a hybird main or custom size rod on just my numbers . but with the line bore and crank grinder in shop my head was spining of all them big 3+ mains that were going to get cut down :) but not all is lost i have rods covered most every thing i need ..and a pin bore machine....... maded up bushing and save some rods and sleeved and welder many blocks /heads.nice to have the machines to make things when they can not be had only part of the job i likeQuote:
