What's going on here? Could I have mixed up the bearings, and what can I do to fix it, or is it ok to install it with this loose fit? thanks [Reply]  [No Email]

Don't put it in loose. You'll be sorry. Must have gotten the wrong one in a set or ??? Shops have manuals with diamentions & specs for all engines. Check one.   [Reply]  [No Email]

The bearing will burn out because the oil hole into the block won't be in alignment. recheck the bearings, not sure on that engine, but many of them have one or two that are in graduated sizes.   [Reply]  [No Email]
