after initially degreeing the cam, installed the pistons ...
careful to lube the bearings ...keep things clean...
had not got to torquing the rod bolts..
figured I could improve on the cam position, and also figured if I remove the 2 to 6 pistons assemblies it would be easier turning the crank ..
all looked ok,, but one rod bearing,, that one is scored the entire diameter, checked the rod journal closer,, even though I had the 'heavy' cast crank polished, there is a burr right at the OD of the journal oil port hole...really did a number on the bearing.

I called King bearings , they are not going to sell one set of bearing halfs..
so what do I do? over 95% of the original bearing load area is present, especially if I split the scored set and use them in two upper sections,, if I had never taken it apart, I may have never known ( till maybe it failed) using something like this is against my nature,, but I am open to experience and ideas..
I have carefully filed the burr on the oil hole od..so its not going to get me again...
