Morning Gents!

Is it possible to change the big end/main bearings with the engine in situ, ie from underneath with the sump off?

big ends you can
but the block will have to be removed as the flywheel bolts to the crank if that makes sense fella

 

yep GUP is right mate,, you could take the box off and do it but on MFI with the ABS pumps and shit it will be easier to drop the engine out, where as i have had the ABS removed and is easir for me to drop the box as i have a 2 post ramp..

 

should only take you about an hour to take the lump out from the top fella
this was at work tho with the old air tools on fire

 

agreed, i tke mine out from the bottom tho.. lol..
but i put it in on the drive way straight in from the top..

 

Right, let me get this right....

Big end bearings = bearings at the big ends of the rods, between the rods and the cranks

Main bearings = Crankshaft rotational bearings in/on the block

Have I got that right??

Main bearings = Crankshaft rotational bearings in/on the block
