i searched the forum and found a lil info, but nothing directly relating to the build.
when building my grand naitonal engine, i spoke with TA Performance in phoenix. they have full groove bearings. since the buick came with 1/2 grooves, i was going to switch.
then i got to thinking about the bb. when i put this together, i want it to last as long as it can. being a disabled vet, it hurts to pull/work on, so i only wanna do it once and hope it lasts until i die...
the truck is in planning stage, but its a general purpose 4x4, some mud, some river, some towing. prolly wont rev to 5500, more 5k or under.
would switching to full groove bearings keep the crank suspended better therefore extending its life?
would this lower oil pressure too much?
pro's-con's?
good idea or no?
