Question 1

What happens if I install the wrong size main bearings?

Accepted Answer

Installing the wrong size main bearings can lead to serious engine damage. If the bearings are too tight, they can cause excessive friction and heat, leading to bearing failure and crankshaft damage. If the bearings are too loose, they can cause low oil pressure and engine knock.

Question 2

Do I need to have my crankshaft machined before installing new main bearings?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the condition of your crankshaft. If your crankshaft is worn, damaged, or out-of-round, it will need to be machined before installing new main bearings. This will ensure that the new bearings fit properly and provide the correct oil clearance.

Question 3

What should the oil clearance be when installing these bearings?

Accepted Answer

Refer to the engine manufacturer's specifications for the recommended oil clearance. Proper oil clearance is crucial for ensuring adequate lubrication and preventing bearing failure. Use plastigauge to verify the clearance during installation.
