Installation Notes
This is a basic kit, so you'll need to specify bearing sizes when ordering - measure your crankshaft journals carefully or have them checked by a machine shop. Professional installation is recommended since proper bearing clearances and torque specifications are critical for long engine life. Don't forget to replace your oil pump and filters while you've got the engine apart.
