Main Bearings


Note the oil grove inline and with oiler drip hole and a groove around the outer lip.

 

 

This is one of the bearings that I pulled out of the engine, it is very soft and I would say too much lead when re-cast in Argentina. 4 1/2" long with a 1 1/2" bore and weighing in at 1070grams (2.36lbs).
It has worn elliptical or badly on the bottom, of course this could also be lack of lubrication.
