Pros & Cons of Insert Bearings
I had a "B" block rebuilt with inserts at Antique Engine Rebuilding in Skokie, IL.. It gets noisey when the engine has been running for awhile. I wonder if anyone else has had the same experience.

Re: Pros & Cons of Insert Bearings
My "A" engine by Antique Engine runs noticeably quiet early and following a long ride. I use Mobil One 5W30 and change it every 500 miles or maybe three or four times a year. I do not burn any though I do sixty any time I am on a highway or open road. I have the Touring Package, HC head, touring cam, SS valves, etc.

Re: Pros & Cons of Insert Bearings
I had one of those engines in my coupe, and it was the best running engine I ever had, and the most powerful.

Re: Pros & Cons of Insert Bearings
My inserts were done by Schwalms in PA, engine is so quiet you would think it was a Hybrid motor.

Re: Pros & Cons of Insert Bearings
5-20 oil is to thin for the engine, that thin of oil is used in modern engines to increase gas mileage use 20-50 in all of my older engines

The title is a bit misleading based on what you placed in the message.
