Don't do that!
By Royce Peterson - 10/22/2002 3:56:28 PM; IP 66.161.205.32
Installing half new bearing shells will wipe out any remaining babbit on the old worn upper half. Then they will ruin the crank. Who ever told you that is a source of bad advice.

You should think about saving your money toward a total engine rebuild. Low oil pressure is likely caused by bad cam bearings and / or main bearings. Just replacing the main bearings (all parts) might bring the pressure up a little but you would be only briefly postponing a rebuild.
