Yep - that's pretty much what I've got for the last two rebuilds. They
seem to hold up okay - one set of mains had no wear after 15k miles or so..
The bearing contact surface is silver-ish/grey-ish. I'm not sure what the
material is, but it certainly not pure aluminium.
Those bearings should be fine.
Installation note: make sure the bearing saddles are completely clean
when you install the shells! David Vizard warns about problems developing
when this is not the case.

Kool.
I have to buy at least one pump. All the cores that I have are "early
style", and apparently do not flow as well as the "later style". The $80
is worth it, after the bazillion bucks worht of crank preparation.
