I got my set of clevite 77 main bearings today, but im a bit stumped about them. Both halves of the thrust bearing have two big grooves on each side that dont look right...or at least i dont remember them being on the old thrust bearing i removed (and i dont have it to check). You can see it here:
Also, the other bearings have some scratch markings...some on the outer face of the bearing, which i think its just because of rubbing between the bearings due to the way they were packed:
But i want to make sure that this one is ok...therse are scratches on the inside of the bearing...the surface that matches with the crank. These although light scratches, dont look too good. The one big one in the middle looks like crack b/c of the lighting...but its just scratch. Nevertheless, i decided to ask.
What do u guys suggest I do? Thanx a million!
