I need to order main bearings for my 57 235.
I think my terminology from my side is different as on your side, so please bear with me
I have determined the following that they are 0.010 undersized dowel type.
where can I order these??
Please take note that I'm in southern Africa.
I need parts on 97 K2500 as well?
thank you in advance.

Here are various code locations. These should ID the model/year of block. There are a variety of sources for engine parts.

I have determined the following that they are 0.010 undersized dowel type. Just to clarify. Up to mid 1955 main bearings had dowel upper and lower insert mains. Starting in late 55 they went to tang upper and dowel lower. If you just ask for dowel bearings you may get the wrong set. You should verify what your engine uses.

Where else would some one know when and if the main bearings were changed? Thanks! There is some good information here and I am glad to see it. Freely offered and kindly stated. Nice!
