rod bearings

[dlp]

One more question: I have a crank that was turned .030" at some point in time. I want to replace the bearings that are in it. Are there any aftermarket numbers for this? I can't recall running across a set from MM. Thanks again!

Sorry, I forgot to mention the rods are in a RE 206.

1. 206 engines are NOT RE engines.
RE engines are 185 cu in. and have ball or roller bearings at both ends of the crankshaft and have no center bearing.
206 engines use a roller at front, and regular insert center and rear main bearings on the crankshaft.

YOU NEED TO KNOW WHICH YOU HAVE-an RE OR a 206 because they are supposed to use different rod bearings. (Although the 206 bearing can work for either in a pinch because it is about 1/8" shorter).

2. Part numbers:

RE engine rod bearing: Federal Mogul 9785SB

206 engine rod bearing: Federal Mogul 2185CP (Actually the box I am looking at says Sealed Power on it) or McQuay Norris 6243CP. There is also a Clevite number, I do not have. (unless it is same as McQuay Norris.)

Is the 206 rod bearing thinner? The crankpins in the 185 & 206 (including 165) in my manual show them to be 2.625" diameter. Sorry, I do know the difference between the two. I don't know why I called it a RE206.

The 206 bearing is not as long from one end to the other. It is the same O.D. and I.D. as the RE bearing.
