Subject: [fastvair] main bearing question


Hi everybody,
Well this is a new one on me. Has anybody ever heard of Corvair main
bearings 
being made/sold that had a 0.020 inch versize OD to compensate for line 
boring? I always thought line boring included removal of material at the
case 
halves mating surfact to compensate. 
Amybody got any experience with this larger OD, or is this a mistake?
Regards,
Bob Helt

ebay description..................
A new Monmouth main bearing set for your 60-69 Corvair, ready to
install, 
with .010 undersize crank journals and .020 oversize OD to allow for
line boring.
