in a few days I,m going the rip a spare ts185 engine down to rebuild it , new rod/big end and new mains etc
regarding the main bearings
the left one is oil fed from the oil pump is wet on the inside and has an oil seal on the outer , behind the genny
the right one is oil fed from the gearbox , and has an oil seal on the crankcase inner side
standard size bearings , (anyone know them?) , but c3 spec.
now my question , can I buy "2rs" rubber sealed bearings , flick the rubber seal off one side and leave the sealed side towards the oil seals , as a "brace and belt" approach?
I don't actually trust the right hand seal (internal) , as its a bugger to change
