59a Main bearings replacements
So now sourcing parts for 59A engine rebuild.
Main Bearings: 81A-63305-030 for 2.499" journal 39- 48 1BA-63305-030 for 2.499" journal. 49-53. Are these bearings the same or are they different? Thanks Phil NZ |

Re: 59a Main bearings replacements
Mainbearings must be for the type of block you use...older has a wider locking tab...-49 up has a smaller.

Re: 59a Main bearings replacements
Yeah you need the earlier type. the locking tab width is an easy indicator. The width of the web of the block at the rear main is different too. I learnt this the hard way when I assumed a French motor would use 8BA bearings. They dont. They use 59A type.

Re: 59a Main bearings replacements
As far as the postal service is concerned there wouldn't be too much difference in shipping from either Sweden or the USA to NZ.

Re: 59a Main bearings replacements
Probably cheaper from Sweden. I find USA postal charges to be the most expensive of anywhere in the world.

Re: 59a Main bearings replacements
Shipping still works atleast...i crated a flathead boatmotor going to south germany today.
A day slower or 2 is fine...just as long as it doesn´t stop completely... |

Re: 59a Main bearings replacements
The numbers that are the same identify the parts as main bearings.
The first number tells you what specific car or engine they fit. |

Much appreciated. Phil NZ |

Re: 59a Main bearings replacements
The only engine you have to watch out for in those years in the Canadian sourced 69A. It has some different bearings associated with it. The 59A is no problem.
