MAIN BEARING RAPTURE FOR THE RAPTOR
Here are some bits of info on the new Ford 5.8L modular engine. It seems Clevite, nor any other bearing manufacturer, do not have a listing for the main bearings for this engine. Here is a helping hand. Order part number MS2202H quantity of 2. From the second set of main bearings use the lower halves of position 2, 3, or 4 to replace the bearing halves in the first set that do not have a receiver notch provision in the block. This is a quick fix for those who want to build this engine and/or want the aftermarket Clevite bearing for extreme boost- ed applications. I have contacted Clevite to investigate the findings to confirm, but it worked for my customer.
