| Post subject: | Main bearings |
I went to install the main bearings and crank today and found that the #3 bearing won't fit. The width of the main cap is 1 1/8" while the inside width of the bearing is only 7/8". The other three bearings (non thrust) fit fine. Could this bearing set be for a later cast crank block or something? Has anyone else run into this? Thanks. Rob |

I ran into this before, but not on a Slant. It was on an Iron Duke 2.5L 4cyl out of a Citation. Turns out I had selected a crank out of a pile of parts at high school that had a much larger crank journal diameter than my block allowed for. Weird. My guess is your #3 bearing was packaged incorrectly. You can probably return it for the correct one. |

Sounds like you have the cast crank thrust bearing. You might want to check the other 3 bearings too, the narrow cast crank bearings may fit but are not as wide as the forged crank bearings. |

They were indeed for the cast crank engine. They swapped me for the right ones this morning. The kids and I will start bolting this thing together tonight. |

Do you mean all 4 bearings were for the cast crank enigne as I suspected? |
