Thanks for your input David...

 

While I did Line Bore my block, I am curious as to why it is particularly
necessary for the Tri-metal bearings?

Yes they do make two different Healey bearings. 

 

One is a singe metal bearing and the other is a Tri Metal Bearing. If you
install the tri metal bearing you must be sure and line bore the block. 

 

We also now have the TRI Metal Bearings available.

When I dug deeper, I found that County is primarily a marketing company and

outsources much of it's manufacturing to third parties and that they can

supply a wide range of quality depending upon what the purchaser/wholesaler

requests....

 

Perhaps it is a case of the N.A. wholesalers who are determining the quality

and not County??
