[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 429241, member: 18629"] Those look normal to me. I expect there will be little difference in design between your bearings and my 2.5L bearings. With good oil pressure they're probably ok. If you want to go the next step you can easily check the bearing/journal clearance by removing a bearing cap and placing a strip of Plastigage between the bearing and the crank's journal. The bearing caps are matched so put the together the way they came out. I don't recall the specs off hand but it's in the service manual. I'll attach a pic. Also here is a pic of my two bearings. The top bearing is one that spun (lack of oil) on the connecting rod and the lower is the main bearing with flanges you see on yours. Also you should be able to check for piston slap now. Look for a youtube video about checking it. [ATTACH=full]117420[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]117423[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
