When the oil pan is removed on the 3.0 motor and the motor out of truck, what are the bearings called that are accessible under where the pan sits?

just curious.

main and rocker bearings or something?

 

assuming you are referring to the front and rear main bearings.

 

rod bearings

 

my main question here is:

some guys from here are willing to help remove motor and change bad oil pan. Besides buying a new pan/gasket/oil pump, what other parts are easily accessible to change since the motor will be out?

rear main seal?

any others?

 

the mains.

 

i am getting all the parts from www.1stfordparts.com and not sure what the "mains" mean?

 

main bearings are the bearings that the crankshaft spins in.

 

you would have to remove the crankshaft and measure the baring to get the right ones

 

but..you don't need to touch them. seriously. unless you got like 300k on the bottom end....your good.

 

Aye, I wouldn't touch them unless you have a TON of miles or some other issues with them.

 

Main bearings and rod bearings.The mains are what the crankshaft spin on,rod bearings are at the big end attached to the crankshaft,,wayne
