+.015 main bearings

Post by BearCreek Majors »

Does anyone know where I can get .015 oversize O.D. main bearings for a major block that has been line bored? I have two cranks to pick from a .020 under and a standard grind.
cam bearings would be nice as well but I can live with the ones that are in it.

Thanks.

I am afraid you have a big problem. We tried to find some about three years ago and I tried all the engineering shops and bearing suppliers with no luck. Only a very few blocks were released that had been line bored, they were usually done when the machinists at Dagenham made an error.

The best hope I can give is to find someone who can re-metal your old bearings.
