These will be stock sized bearings from King so I shouldn't have any fitment issues. I will be checking the sizes on the bearing as JonEQuest suggested to ensure they sent all the correct sizes.
With that said, I picked up a handful of Plastigage strips (we need the green ones) at PepBoys the other day and I'll be checking the clearance using the old bolts to torque to spec. Also bought some Permatex assembly lube for the job as well.
This is about as critical of a component as it gets so I'm realllly not trying to fuck anything up. If I do then I should have just left it alone. I should have some pics of the bearings off an 80k mile used 535i junkyard motor for you all to see, idk about you guys but I'd love to see more bearing condition photos on these cars considering all the spun bearings recently.
Oh and I'll probably have some photos of my rekt bearings from the old motor but that'll be a few more weeks lol |
