Bearing caps

ProcrastinatorFraser · Feb 28, 2016

Does anyone know where i can buy a set of bearing caps for a 5mb engine? I'm buying a new block soon, along with a crankshaft and i'm just pricing things up, but i can't seem to find the bearing caps anywhere.
Cheers

bearing caps come with the block they are lined bored after fitting so arent replaceable or reusable on any other block

I lost the bearings on a 3mb block as said had to get a new block. Pablanchard sell them cost me around 300!

Yeah I thought that . Was really nice to rebuild the engine with a new block
It didn't have a block number so I guess I could stamp my old one in!! Ex mod stock I think , all greased up and wrapped in brown paper. Took ages to get it clean though!

Why do you need new bearing caps?
