Whoa! That's a beat up main bearing. Might have a lead on a good 1.8 if you're interested.

Mark, All the bearings look pretty rough, but not compared to the cam and lifters. When the flashlight illuminated the cam, the disassembly was on. You build a lot more of these than I. Show me the detail in the photo which made you make the comment about the main bearing. |

I'm working on a 2.0 now that had the same head gasket issue but not as bad as Luckies. I had the heads checked and all they really needed were new guides. |

The center bearing shell in the case half is really worn/discolored. I already threw some of the bearings in the trash, but I'll take close-ups of the remaining pieces tomorrow. The bearings are bad, but the cam......ouch. The funny thing is that it ran better than it had in a long time when I was driving it to the shop to pull it out. |
