The Wheaton/Hastings centre bearing modification as Chris KC explained, followed by line boring is definitely the way to go. I also think that an improvement to longevity could be had by feeding oil to the centre bearing from the top via a drilling from the crankshaft jet oil way. The bearing is then being fed oil into the low pressure area rather than the high pressure point at the bottom.
I have been giving this a lot of thought over the last few years which is how long my engine has been sitting on the bench! Determined to start work on it soon as I want the car back on the road early next year.
Any thoughts anyone?
