hi,
I cannot thank you enough for your contributions to this forum. This is of a real help. There are many people here who are only after profits from these forums and not really contribute much. I cannot thank you enough...
i am in process of rebuilding my S85 and these post is immensely helpful.
I have a question regarding main bearings...i need to replace the main bearings
and tempted to go for Kings because apparently is not need to match them...they are just drop ins... what do you think about it?
If I had to go OEM, considering the crank would be different but same bedplate... would I need to go for "R" mains? In TIS is a big ambiguous as I think when they debate the scenario "used bedplate used crank" they refer
to the same bedplate/crank combination that was originally installed.
What about my scenario where its the same bedplate but different-used crank? do i need to go by the GYV colors or go for "R" if going OEM?
Regards,
