Project: Q+2     -     Entry

Mar 14, 2022 1.8 Engine Inspection Category: Engine
In order to check for oversize bearings, I performed rough measurements of the crankshaft main and rod journals along with connecting rod bearing ID and OD.

Crankshaft main bearing #1 journal diameter: 2.1645 in (54.9783 mm)
Crankshaft main bearing #2 journal diameter: 2.164 in (54.9656 mm)
Crankshaft main bearing #2 OD: 2.5605 in (65.0367 mm)

Crankshaft rod journal #2 diameter: 2.164 in (54.9656 mm)

Connecting rod #2 bearing OD: 2.2595 in (57.3913 mm)
Connecting rod #2 big end ID: 2.2775 in (57.8485 mm) at 2 o'clock and 2.2765 in (57.8231 mm) at 5 o'clock

From these measurements, it appears I have standard size main and connecting rod bearings. Of note, the Revmaster looks to have the stock Volkswagen flywheel (thrust) bearing placed where the stock #3 main bearing goes and a second #2 main bearing in it's place.
