I've never actually seen any of the bearings with the integral thrust surface, but that makes a lot of sense..

MYKE W vendor on here has some good write ups in the FAQ on what oil to run and using a 360 degree bearing in one of the mains to oil the head better. All in the FAQ but I think it was #4

So I need to have the pistons I'm going to use with me before I get the cylinders bored or honed, but I won't know what I'll need until I get them measured. Is that correct? Just checking. ???
