An new post - without pictures *

I could remove the cover and got the valve lifters out. Also cleaned the heads and removed any red color
Then I removed some of the valves to check the condition of the valve guides and valve seats. While the seats were quite good, some of the valve guides (mostly intake valves) had a significantly higher valve tilting (...is this the right word? Not sure...) than others.
So I decided to give the cylinder heands to a good engine workshop I know, to renew the valve guides and do the seats.
You can guess it - I decided to do the "big job" with the engine, do it once, do it right
I will give the block to the workshop too and let them renev all bearings. I hope honing and new piston rings will be enough, and I don't need cylinder boring and new pistons.
While checking the availability of the parts I need, I saw that the main bearings for this engine are not available in STD size at the moment
At least not at Kanter, they only have oversizes on stock.
So my questions this time:
Does anyone have a hint where I can get the main bearings for the crankshaft in STD size?
OR: Is there any bearing from Chevy that fits too, since Chevy bearings are widely available??
