ANSWER 10.

The oil galleries are generally drilled at an angle through the shaft. Once the shaft is reground the edge of this oil drilling becomes very sharp and without re-work will quickly destroy the new bearing. Due to the angle of this cross drilling the edge is very thin and will start a crack out of the oil drilling if left without the correct chamfer.
