    Hello,
    A friend and I are restoring his 76 360. We we're replacing all the motor bearings. When the last one the right side crank bearing just slid right threw. The bearing is the same as the left which fit perfectly. Has anyone ever replaced a crank bearing sleeve in mag motor?

    No I have not ever had a sloppy fit on a crank main bearing. The input and output of the transmission, yes but those have no sleeves. I think I have asked once before if those sleeves were cast in or pressed in. Never had one come out or move at all. For what it is worth the aluminum auto and four stroke cases do not have sleeves.

    If you choose not to go used cases I would think a sleeve inside the existing one, kind of thin as opposed to replacing the existing one?
