RE: [Chevelle-list] Rear Main Bearing Cap

[Bill Vander Werf]

If you do find a rear main cap you will have to have the block line bored to make sure the caps and crank line up correctly. Make sure you use a machine shop that does this kind of work regularly. It is a procedure that can be done incorrectly and then you will have to find more than a new rear main cap.   The rear cap is larger than the rest and it also holds the rear seal. The clearance is also supposed to be a half a thousandths or so larger than the rest of the bearing caps.   Bill Vander Werf   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2004 10:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-list] Rear Main Bearing Cap   Andre,   The rear cap appears more stout than the other three.  I suppose it was designed to take more stress than the other three.  I have found sources for the other three bearings, but still looking for the rear.   John:  It's a 4 bolt main buddy.   Tony Gray ACES 2114 TC Gold 185 York PA
