Hi chums,
I have to put the groove back in my re-metaled big ends and I would like to know if the groove needs to be all the way across the bearing surface as was originally done:

or would there be any benefit to be had by not running the groove to the edge as in this photo shopped pic ?:

*pics are the big ends before being re-metaled.
Comments and suggestions welcomed.
Thanks,
Stephen
