Ford 289 Engine Build Installing The Main Bearings
Ford 289 Short-Block Buildup Part 1 - Project '66 Engine Build
8 John prepares for the installation of the crankshaft by placing the main bearing halves into the bottom of the block. The No. 3 bearing is the thrust bearing (denoted by the thrust surfaces on the sides of the bearing) and often requires gentle persuasion to fully seat.
