locking crowns on main bearing caps
Posted: Thu Aug 13, 2015 1:16 pm
I pulled my oil pan off of my 3.0 verde block that I hope to install soon and I noticed that the machinists that assembled it did not use locking crowns or locking tab washers on the main bearing caps. I have a spare parts 2.5 block with lock crowns and tab washers and I am wondering if I should use those parts on my 3.0.
Some say that alfa put them there for a reason, others have told me that they would never re-use hardware like that, they would only install new pieces.
Does anyone have an opinion they could share?
Thanks
