[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 40350, member: 2781"] Sounds like you lucked out . The original big end had to go anyway , a new caged one will accept the harder running you will be giving it and easily hold faster crusing speeds . The case hardening on original followers was said to be 30 to 35 thou thick so these can be surfaced on a fresh oilstone If the grooves are not too deep , and if there are light fingernails on the lobes they can be stoned off and re polished . Use oil with ZDDP in it and all will be well . Sid . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
