Darrell;   I just checked with our NAPA  store,  Here in Red  Bluff California.  292 mains . For your info, are readily available.   .010, .020. and .030,    They should be available in your area.  Bob

Darrell.  If trying to use your 0.020” main set that’s missing the center thrust bearing, keep in mind that a 0.010” or 0.030” thrust bearing will not work assuming you grind your crankshaft 0.020” on all the mains.  That's a 'Yes' in having come across crankshafts with the journals not all ground the same.  That must be somebody's idea of saving a buck but doing that sure does complicate rebuilding an engine.

I have some broken main bearing sets and will look later today to see if there is a 0.020” thrust bearing that can be parted with.
