#112203, "Which main bearings do I need?" Nov-04-08 02:03 AM by 99RedGs
Ok, I have a spare motor for my build and need to order new main bearings. I am not sure what year the motor is and was wondering if someone had a picture of the the offset notch in the 95 main bearings or some kind of visual way for me to look at what I have and compare it to what I will need... Hopefully that made sense.
I just want to make sure I get the right bearings.

most people prefer to get the 95 bearings, as those have a 360* oil groove as opposed to the others that have just a 180. i prefer the extra security in them and would use them on any block i do. now you are right that they have a tab that dosent fit into newer blocks. this is easily remedied with a dremel and a metal cutting wheel. just take your time when notching the skirt and keep checking fitment till its right on then your good to go.
took me about 30 min to do my first one

Judging by Star's response I have the 96-99 block. I don't quite understand the other post :-p I just wanted to know which bearings I needed, but thanks for the suggestion.

yes you can get 2 sets of bearings and return the one you don't need. me? i suck at keeping my receipts so i just said forget it. i bought the Full-Groove main bearings and notched my block so they fit.
now instead of having to figure out what my block was, i "Made" it a 95 and gave myself extra comfort with the larger oil groove.

Wow, if that really works it may be worth the extra $70 or so. Do you run it this way? I'm suprised no one else has suggested this to me on Tuners.
I wasn't so much concerned with the oil grooves, I really just wanted to know which block I had. Sounds like its 96-99 so I'll order 2 sets of the Clevite 96-99 Mains.
