Thanks for your input David...
While I did Line Bore my block, I am curious as to why it is particularly
necessary for the Tri-metal bearings?

Yes they do make two different Healey bearings.
One is a singe metal bearing and the other is a Tri Metal Bearing. If you
install the tri metal bearing you must be sure and line bore the block.
We also now have the TRI Metal Bearings available.

When I dug deeper, I found that County is primarily a marketing company and
outsources much of it's manufacturing to third parties and that they can
supply a wide range of quality depending upon what the purchaser/wholesaler
requests....
Perhaps it is a case of the N.A. wholesalers who are determining the quality
and not County??
