I have a complete set of such machined bearings to show you, BUT...I am puter dysfunctional on loading and sending. If I can dig them out of my "Old School box", perhaps I can find someone to scan them for you.  Best/Dyno

That's great. I hope you can give me some pics or a detailed instruction. I guess the grooves should be rather small so i don't loose oil pressure.

Hope someone can show you some photos. As I recall, it is not that difficult and can be done with basic hand tools (files).

I have his book, but the pictures arn't good enough. At least not good enough description for me to modify the bearings. I'm going to read it again right now.

Could you please give me some information? What is the dept of the grooves and where should they be located. Do all bearings have grooves?

Maybe it will get him to hurry up with mine!  ;) :)

Since you have a set, please give some info about the grooves. There is absolutely no help without pictures or any description at all. How should I modify my bearings based on your information?
