Main bearings on duratec
Going to be fitting my nice new shiney raceline sump and have wondered about changing the main bearings. Can this be done without removing crank.
infact I don't really want to remove anything if possible!! Anyone done this?

If you think the engine requires new main bearing it will require a full rebuild in reality, not worth doing part of the job. Unless you remove the
crank you can only get at 1/2 of the bearing thus whats the point. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Don't change them unless you know they need it, current Ford/Mazda engine bearings last a very long time unless they have been oil starved.
