Ford X Flow Bearings
Nickctp - 4/4/13 at 09:58 AM

Hiya,

I just purchased a complete set of brand new bearings for my 1600 Xflow, (Main, Big end and thrust). They are all Standard bearings as I have fitted an new standard crank. They are Mahle/Vandervell bearings so not cheap rubbish.

After inspecting the bearings - it states nowhere that they are standard - (no std mark) just some numbers. Is this standard practice that new bearings dont state they are standard or Undersize etc? Or have I been sent the wrong bearing kits?

Cheers

Why not ask the place where you bought them, there is a slim chance they might just know about the parts they sell.

All cleared up!

Nick, what were the numbers, for those on here who say get some from Fleabay and the seller has no clue..

May prove helpful to someone

Mahle / Vandervell bearings have a part number stamped on them. To be a STANDARD size bearing the last 3 digits should be either 200 or 000. Depending on the bearing type of course but either number indicates a standard size.
