RE: Oil hole missalignment in main bearing sadle

I always match the holes. Ford did that to force more oil to the hyd. lifters. I think the crank is a bit more important than the lifters esp. when the engine has solids and Ford recommends blocking the oil gallerys to the lifters. As for the "V" in the rod bearing its no big deal, that notch is to allow a small squirt of oil to the opposing cylinder. Another carry-over from the 40s and 50s. The cylinders get enough oil from throw-off that the little notches aren't needed.
This thread, so far...
