Back in the early seventies when I was young, in a hurry and thought I knew it all I put standard crank bearings on a crank that was turned down .010. It was the engine out of a 62 Rambler Classic. It had never been apart before and it came from the factory with a crank that had turned down main bearings. I didn't even check the backside of the bearing shells nor did I Plastigage the new ones when I put it together. Got it together and it ran fine but when it warmed up the oil pressure dropped to near zero at idle. One of those lessons I learned the hard way. Jim
