Recently replaced mine. Glad I did. Now I can sleep at night.
2011.5 w/ 59.5k miles. Some of the bearings were worn to their final layer. There was also so heat spotting and pitting. Many thanks to Malek@MRF |

Had mine done recently. 2013 27k miles, good record on oil changes etc. The width on the bearings isn't visibly thinner or anything but clearly there is wear. Top bearings seem more worn than bottoms. Went with BE as a replacement and seems like money well spent to me.

Not bad especially considering your mileage.

Finally got around to getting my bearings done by Malek at MRF. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He made the process extremely stress free and seamless. I would recommend him in a heart beat. I can finally rip this bad boy to 8400 rpms stress free! I will get some more detailed pictures of the bearings once I get a chance |

I went with what Malek recommended which was the Clevite Calico CT-1 Coated Extra Clearance Rod Bearing Set. How about you? |

So the fact that the upper shell started getting misaligned might be a sign that it's about to spun? |

Not necessarily. These are fractured rods. their separation lines are not always in the same spot, but since the bearings are always the same dimensions there may be some of the shell protruding past the parting line. Doesn't matter once they're assembled and it doesn't mean they started to spin.

Hello
Sorry if it's posted already as I am sure it is some where. Can you guys recommend a brand of rod bearings to use if I decide to replace my OEM bearings? I am engine illiterate so I cannot determine why one brand would be better then the next. Please school me if you don't mind. I am reading that some bearing have more clearance so engine oil can get in there easier to lessen wear. Some aftermarket bearings are treated or coated to strenghten the bearing from stock. Anything else that would make one brand better than the other? I have 08 with 45k miles and I just received my first oil analysis report where lead has increased by a significant amount from prior oil analysis reports. The bearings on this thread are: BE ACL WPC VAC (Calico) Which set do I buy?? I read it's suggested to replace the motor mounts as you replace the bearings. Can you recommend a brand? Thanks Last edited by wchow16; 11-15-2018 at 11:00 PM.. |
