I've purchased a couple of different sets of main bearings for my engine rebuild, 1 set of Mahle and 1 set of Silverlines.....I received both with appear to be light scuffs and surface scratches on the bearing surfaces, apparently from the way they are packaged from the factories. The vendor I bought the Silverlines from says this is common and he has used them with no issues. What's the word on this, should I be concerned about this or not? Common sense tells me the bearing surfaces should be mark free and smooth.....

I suppose it all depends on how bad the surfaces are.
Can you post a picture? Can you feel any ridges with your fingernail or are they just visual? |
