I have kept my old bearing shells just for the maybe one day someone can re-plate them. :) I am sure that would be a cheaper answer than grinding cranks and line boring cases and big ends.

I guess the answer is getting the numbers up to make the job worth it.

A guy I knew in Melbourne used to cast his own mains and big end bearings, then line-bore them out to size. He passed away several years back now, and took his knowledge and skills with him. :(

Happy & Safe riding to All.

Regards, Peter.
