RE: bearing help...

[CHUCK.ARNOLD@ORACLE.COM]

You should see the number one journal on the crank on which I did spin
the bearing around 6000 RPM.  Finished the lap, pulled into the pits.
Stopped, started again went about 100 feet and the engine froze.  The
bearing was literally welded to the crank.  Mymachinist decided it was
not worth trying to machine it off as the journal was already .01 [or
is it .001?] under.  Had Chuck Gee nitride the next crank and have
never had a problem agian.
