Main bearings

[oggy182]

Hi guys, basically in rebuilding my engine and when I sent the engine off to get rebored and honed. They took my crankshaft off to be measured and reground. Which is all fine now but I've got a box off all the main bearing caps and as I'm putting new acl bearings in. I'm now assuming that because the main caps are numbered 1-5 they go in order of timing belt side. But before I torque it down I wanted to double check if someone on here new. As we all no what happens when we assume everything...thanks

There's a tutorial in the tutorial section building a forged engine I'm pretty sure it's mentioned in there what order the caps go

You know this Colin mate, exactly what I was saying on here the other day oggy too 👍

Couldn't find the wiki, but yea I assumed that they would be nearest one to the timing side, as it's pretty much the rule if thumb isn't it? I just wanted to double check. Cheers guys 👍

And of course mate make sure the arrows are pointing to the cam belt side too 👍
