Larry:
Actually, they didn't have a lot of crank flex. The engine didn't
need any more than 4 mains especially when you consider the size of
each and the long stroke design of the motor. That, I believe, is just
one of those rumors ... careful.
Every /6 I've ever rebuilt never showed any signs of crank/main probs.
In fact, these motors always tended to look spectacular compared to
other engines I've seen on the inside.
