In some engines jack-bolts are used while in some others, waist-ed bolts are used for holding main bearing keep.

To minimize bending tie rods are kept closer to the center line of the shaft, in some type of engines require jack up bolts for keeping bearing keeps in position. In some modern engines twin tie rods are used( so
they will offset to their center line) and are threaded on to the top of the bed plates. This increases the performance of bearings and bearings can be kept on position using waist-ed bolts as they give more compression and they are also resilient.

Why atomisation test should not be done in slide type fuel valves

Since very small needle lift is obtained in the test equipment result in an unequal pressure distribution in the cut off shaft resulting in a hard contact in a small area along with high frequency oscillations, low lubricity of test oil will increase the chance of seizure. Full lift and high lubricity of heavy oil eliminates this risk  of seizure during normal operation.( Always open and clean slide type valves before testing as cold sticky heavy oil along with small clearances can cause restriction in the movement of the spindle).
