Front Bearing Help!!!

[frddyj]

crash is moddin' up my F4.6 and the front bearing looked suspicious--->https://www.hpisavageforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8408
.
I wanted to replace the front bearing before putting it back together, but the LHS said that you cannot by the bearing without buying the whole eng case cuz the bearing is pressed in there.
.
Bank says 'if they can press it in there, then you can just knock it out & replace it' which makes sense to me.
.
Anyone know what bearing will work/fit in there and maybe provide a link 4 me?:cussing:

Your LHS is full of chit

Just go to a bearing shop and ask for a 607VV, it will fit no problem. It is a double sealed bearing but you can just take one of the seals off. Should be about $7.

 

[Trixter]

why would you take one seal off?

 

[Jeremy]

so the bearing could get some lube

 

[Purenitro]

Most engines have the inner seal removed so the bearing can get lubrication from the oil in the fuel. It's realy up to you if you want to remove it, some engines don't have it removed.

 

[Larsenracing]

You also need to remove the factory grease from the bearing if you remove the seal.

Pure, does the 607vv bearing fit ANY .28 or is it specific to the f4.6?, just trying to figure if i should get a couple or a few.

 

[Purenitro]

I believe they are a standard size for all big block engines, all the engines I have worked on use this size of bearing.

 

[frddyj]

would 1 of these bearings do the job? they do not give a size .

Any 7X19X6 bearing will work, you just have to decide which one you want.

 

[svtman]

make sure to heat the block so the bearing is easy to remove. ive been told to put it in the oven at 300 degrees but theres no way my wife will allow it! i have a few good freinds who balance and bluprint there engines for national boat races and one has done one of my motors, never had a problem till i bought a bigger one. hes also a nat champion in his class. You can also leave the inner seal on the bearing it will not hurt it. the passage between the front and rear bearing is called the seal chamber and it stays full of oil when the motor is running. make sure not to scape this area with the crank or your front bearing will leak! hope it helps.

Sorry for beatin' this thread to death, i have -0- bearing experience, but I'm sure that the info that you guys are providing will help others in the future. Does this bearing look ok? It does not say "vv":dunno: 😛eace:
Axial Front Bearing

Give either of these a go. You can find out a fair bit just by browsing.

Boca bearings is very helpful, they have engine cross reference guides so you can just look up your engine.

Here ya go, I found the bearing kits they offer for the K4.6. The bearing sizes will be exactly the same for the F4.6. You can buy the bearings individualy also. They start at the bottom of page 2.
