And sometimes they surprise you......we just recently replaced a broken 
crankshaft in a Perkins diesel.  The crank journals were worn into the shape 
of the bearings.  I asked our local engine machine shop guru who explained 
that though the bearings are softer, they collect abrasives and wear the 
hardened journals.
