Locating tang looks damaged, that's probably what caused the heavy wear in the copper area

"Heavy wear" ?

Look again. I do notice the locating tang isn't right but The caramel colored area of the bearing looks untouched. I see light grooves in the gray area of the bearing but the caramel color on the bearing looks like oil, the same color is on the rest of the main cap.

The "caramel" color is copper. Its what's UNDER the grey babbit material. In other words, it looks as if the bearing was tight in that location, and it wore the top layer away.
 
Can you explain why the rest of the bearing cap is the exact same color as the edge of the bearing?
 
I am not necessarily stating that you are wrong, I just wonder why the oil stains/discoloration on the bearing cap looks the same color. I don't see copper, I see a caramel color. Copper has more of a red to it.

Also, the caramel color on the bearing looks smooth, not scored or grooved. I guess I'd need to be there to get a better look.
 
I think the tang post is the issue
Edge of the bearing was twisted and wore out
Wonder what the back looks like
I would just throw a new bearing at it if all the others look good and crank mics out
 
Maybe it is the lighting.
THIS is the picture that I copied:

This is what looks like the same picture, same angle but the color of the bearing looks different than the cap:

Had I only seen the second picture, I'd absolutely think that the bearing edge was worn to copper, maybe as NC had stated, the tang on the bearing isn't seated in the block notch.
 
AND it's not JUST the tang, although the tang might be the cause, BUT.......look CLOSELY at the entire outer edge of the bearing opposite of the tang. The outside edge. The entire half of the bearing side is pushed out on the tang side. That whole end of that bearing is twisted. Use the inside edge of the I.D of the bearing cap as a straight edge and compare that edge with the edge of the bearing.

If you have a test indicator, set it up on the rear main journal turn it over and see if there’s any runout.
Check for tunnel straightnesses, may need a tunnel hone.
