I took the car out on the road yesterday for a small ride.

 

My engine has been fully rebuilt by myself and the help of my friend who is a mechanic.

I've forged Eagle rods, toga performance bearing, and a second hand for a UK shop crankshaft.

The bearing i was using were std and i did 300kms without any problems.

 

Yesterday i raced a audi RS4 (I won :dance: ) but then i heard that my bearing were gone.

 

I took of the oil pan today and found some small particles on the oil pan and a slightly damaged bearing.

 

I haven't took of yet my main bearing but i think the particles are coming from this one.

 

what can cause bearing to go?

How to know which size of bearing i'm suppose to use?

 

Thank you again for the help.

you can check the beaing surface for a copper surface, this will indicate wear, downside is replacing the bearing/s in situ is more often than not your masking a problem. and likely hood they will fail in a short space of time! worth a try though

the question you need to ask is what caused the wear in a short space of time!

 

read the manual the numbers are stamped on the counter weight end of the crank. You then take them numbers and tally them up with the numbers on bearing caps, as you have eagle rods, you may have to use oversize.

 

 

make sure you put a bit of moly on the bearing surface before re assemble
