Installation notes
Check the crankshaft journal diameter with a micrometer before ordering bearings. Main bearing journals standard size: 2.334". 050" undersize: 2.284". Bearing clearance must be 0.001". Torque for main bearing caps: 65-75 ft-lbs. Check oil pressure after installation.

Only suitable for crankshafts ground exactly to 0.050" undersize. Not compatible with standard or other undersize dimensions (0.010", 0.020", 0.030", 0.040", 0.060"). Before ordering: measure the crankshaft journal diameter accurately.
Historical context
