Now, I'm getting worried. Here's what it says about the motor Entire engine was rebuilt using parts from Moss Motors and British Victoria and has about 300 miles on it. The break-in oil has been replaced. Rebuild included : Pistons/rings, Bearings, Gaskets, new oil pump, new water pump, new clutch and pressure plate, new throw out bearing, flywheel turned, Crank turned, Cam polished, Valves were checked fine. All engine machine work done by Douglas engines in Chattanooga, TN.
This says the bearings have been replaced. I've sent a e-mail to the owner asking about the type of oil used. Notice it only has 300 miles on the rebuilt motor.
