main bearing

These were cast iron engines, and used just three main bearings.

The larger engine was modified to have only four rather than eight main bearings.

The number of main bearings was increased to four.

The drive shaft's main bearing was also enlarged to 550 mm.

The Gen-3 crankshafts had 7 main bearings (increased from 4).

My men will have completed the re-assembly of the main bearing by noon today.

The engine had side valves and three main bearings.

The block features a single piece main bearing cap.

This was a 2175 cc, five main bearing engine.

The main bearing caps were made of cast iron and held in place with two bolts each.

The 2.5 engine also features five main bearings and eight overhead valves.

The bottom of the block formed the parting line for the main bearing caps.

The earlier cars used a three main bearing crankshaft, 18G-series.

This was due to the tight tolerances of the engine main bearings.

It had 7 main bearings and timing gears (no chain or belt).

The large crankshaft was supported by seven main bearings.

The crankshaft is made of alloy steel, with five main bearing caps.

Does not use a low speed shaft (the gearbox is integral to the main bearing).

The straight-six was a four main bearing 12 overhead valve design with a short stroke.

The crankshaft was supported by five main bearings with thrust taken at the middle bearing.

High performance engines often have more main bearings than their lower performance cousins for this reason.

This engine had four main bearings and can be identified by the three core plugs on the side of the block.

A later development was to enlarge the main bearings sufficiently to be larger than the entire crank web.

This put additional strain on the main bearings and crankcases, leading to reliability problems.
