woodie49 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Looking for a set of main bearing caps for a P18. I tried scouring *bay for NOS, to no avail. Any ideas? Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 if you get main bearing caps from another engine, keep in mind they must be undercut and torqued to specs and then line bored... Quote
woodie49 Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Posted August 21, 2008 I understand line boring because I have had that done before, but I don't know what undercutting is. Shavind a bit off the mating surfaces to reduce the inside diameter for the line bore? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 bingo.... being aware of that makes all the difference in the world...finding caps from a locked up block somewhere should not be a major ordeal...or say a cracked block from lack of antifreeze... Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 extra note on the bearing caps...the factory had available end caps for situations such as this..they have larger stud holes by 1/64" and shorter by 1/16" Quote
