[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 16412621, member: 117234"] With that much surface area showing damage I would seriously consider having the mains align honed. If it were just a few spots I'd install the bearing and go. One thing you could try is to take a new razor blade and gently scrap the areas and see if any metal collects on the blade. Go up and away from the oil hole to keep metal out of the main galley. You can also plug the hole with and ear plug to help keep metal out. Leave it very proud of the saddle so that it's not forgotten. If metal collects on the blade you really need to have the mains cut because the bore is most likely out of round due to the damage.
