It was a common procedure on xr engines to have the bearing surface machined and sometimes even replaced by a needle bearing that was used with the modified cam.  that way the came was saved too as the journal got sized down.  I see a lot more ingenuity that way coming from your side of the pond than ours right now,  for those high taxes you mentioned.  the machining on that one does not look out of the question at all.</p></blockquote><p></p>
