This is some what related. My son ran his 87 240 at little dry so we ended up replacing all the main and rod bearings. Well, he also ground down the bottom cup or keeper for the rear most main beaing, I think it might be called the thrust bearing. So I took it to a welder and had him weld a bead on each side of this item ---then I ground it down to just fit and it took out the slop very nicely. The reason I even mentioned it was because of the weight factor--I'm almost certain that I increased the weight in that area but it didn't seem to cause any vibration if we stayed under 2500 to 2800 rpm and we lived with it til we sold it for $5oo
