Default Re: Pre war vs post war engine bearings

During my early racing days the " floating" bearings would flake. You couls see little parts of earing materal in the oil when drained through a cloth. after dissambling an engine found the bearings were "Pock marked". At the time we blamed the hi oil pressure. This is a learning experience. We added the full flow oil system. That kept the flakes from causing more damage.
