<VV> Corvair main bearings .030

[BBRT]

Jerry,

Have you considered Clarks Corvairs? Their Catalog shows 0.030 brgs; rod and 
mains..

For street use, I see no problem with 0.030 under bearings. Cracks in the 
crankshaft are a culprit, not our main or rod journal sizes. As you say, you 
have other crankss. Someone will be happy to buy the bearings for a Corvair.
