I’m “hoping” to find at least 1 bearing.

If I can, my thoughts are grind the OD of the shell to the proper interference fit. Using proper tool post grinding process of course.

It will only require ~.0025 off the thickness of the shell.

Then, will need to check alignment.

Not gonna be easy, but I have to do it to save the block.

Next step will be a custom bearing shell. Then have it Babbitted.

Here’s an interesting read from Mahle. Last paragraph.
