Need input...440 rebuild or not?

HOGWASH!!!!! Bearing crush one time use??????????????????I have plastigauged probably 30 motors that I built as a cheap way to measure clearance to make sure the machine shop did its job which means the bearings were installed and torqued to specs, then loosened to check the clearance on the gauge, cleaned off the plastigauge and retorqued them. NEVER had a problem AFTER I reinstalled them and "crushed" them for the second time.


Easy boy. There's more than one type bearing. There ARE those that crush only ONE time and should not be reused. How are we supposed to know which bearings he has? I'm certainly not going to accept the liability of telling him to reuse them, when I don't know the whole picture? Are you ready to do that?
