Also, wouldn't you want a smooth finish on the saddles ensure the best contact with the bearings and transfer the most heat?

FWIW, I always thought it was the oil wedge which carried the load and transferred the heat. Any time a main bearing shell starts feeling a lot of heat, isn't something fatally wrong somewhere?
Last time I installed main studs, I torqued down the OEM bolts, measured the bore, pulled them out, installed the ARP studs, torqued them down, measured the bore and there was NO difference. Maybe just lucky with that block.
