Clevitte 77 Main Bearnings

[scottsee]

When I received my package today from what I thought was a reputable seller on ebay I noticed grooves on the side of the 2 largest bearings, 2 grooves on each side, total of 4 on each. I wasn't expecting this, I've never seen new mains before, I'm doing my first build. Is this normal? If not are they still useable? I included this link that shows the grooves.

Also, shouldn't I have 10 bearings?? The package only has 9. As shown in the picture. Thanks. Scott.

Those grooves are normal for both parts of the thrust bearing.

There should be 10 main bearings, 2 thrust bearings, and 8 other main bearings.

I thought their was suppose to be 10. It was discribed as:

This auction is for a "set" of CLEVITE Main bearings # MS2043P STD

I'll give them a call Monday and see what they will do for me. I'm glad I used paypal.
Curriously, what are the goves for? Does that indicate they are used?

Well at $26 on eBay and $59 on slowboy, I can see why you went there. For things like this however, I chose to go with a reputable source to avoid any major problems. You should be able to get something worked out, good luck!

I bought a set of standerd clevitte 77 rod bearings for $16 last month from them that were exactly as described. So I went back. Thanks for quick responce..

Have you gotten them yet? Looks like the "missing" half is on the right.

Why not just go to Napa their not that expensive and you can source them locally without all the hassle?
