Some of the extreme measures to "save" 2.7 cases are money's poorly spent.
This is just advise to think before you leap
With 8 main bearings in the 911 case, "perfect" main bores become less important. Keep in mind that after a couple of heat cycles the main webs in a mag case engine are no longer round.
This tells the OP that "perfect" is an elusive standard

Upgraded oil pump to ensure oil pressure at idle, cam feed restricters and quality bearings will make up for a slightly oval main saddle.
These are ways to mitigate the symptoms of slightly imperfect main bores

Did you actually read what I wrote?
I post here to help DYI builder and these "nefarious intent" posts gets pretty fricking tedious.
