oggy182 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam-Gt- Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 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 Adam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oggy182 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 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 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 And of course mate make sure the arrows are pointing to the cam belt side too 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
