while I have the pan off, im taking off the main caps and looking at the bearings.
the front 3 main bearing caps on my 261 dont have washers. Shouldnt there be washers? - I havent looked at the rear yet.
Its a 1956 261
thanks in advance

I was trying to make sure this is the way its supposed to be. - wink.
so if washers were only used up to 55, then I guess my engine doesnt use them.
thanks for the info! | | |
