Was thinking of a bearing surface maybe 4 to 6 inches wide Steve. Using existing bearing shells would necessitate precise machining too. The cast shells in the bearings I poured were pretty simple and easy to duplicate.
When the shaft is stationary there must be metal to metal contact, before the oil film is developed. Does this cause a lot of wear on startup?

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
