I suspect you might be trying to avoid the effort to take the engine
apart.... I'll say, that being the case you could have someone make
babbet bearings that might do what you seek.... or not. Best to have the
crank machined and buy proper bearings. The machining isn't all that
expensive... DaveP

<div>Good day all. Any experience or recommendations for
best bearings to use on an old, maybe not so concentric,
crankshaft.  Mechanic/ friend has schooled me that a
perfect, recently machined crankshaft can tolerate hard
bearings that will last a long time without any need to
conform to crankshaft irregularities.  An old out of round
crank needs bearing material that is somewhat malleable and
can embed into the irregularities but is so soft they
usually don't last as long. Â The old Clevite 77 bearings
