I don't know much about this subject.But its seems to me the hardness of the bearing surfaces would be somewhat meaningless.Since they ride on oil and not the actual bearing surfaces.I would think you need more thrust surface area and not harder bearings.

Agreed. Bearings work on a "full-film" style lubrication. I guess I really dont see the advantage to a harder bearing either. I suppose it could make a difference on start-ups or if you have very low oil pressure for some reason. Mike, wanna explain a little further?
