I have the engine out of my RK saloon at present to fix a slipping clutch. Investigation of the rear main reveals this - a self aligning RM10 bearing.

I guess some of you racing guys and possibly special builders will be familiar with this mod?? I'd be happy to hear the pros and cons.
From my point of view, the engine has been remarkably quiet in the three years I've owned the car, in fact it's hard to set the timing correctly because there's no rumble from the rear main. A friend remarked "how did you fit a three bearing engine to a vintage car?".
There must be a downside.....
