piston rod bearings

Postby pett3227b » Thu Jan 20, 2022 11:39 am

I have removed the pistons from the cylinders and I am wondering what the stamped numbers mean? All 4 are stamped 1455 SB Fm 59. Some clarification here would be of help. Thank-you

FM = Federal Mogul
1455 SB is the part number.

These are probably standard size. If they were "oversize" then they would also have a size on them like .010 or .030
Take a look at this thread.

Thanks guys I will have the cam shaft checked anyway. I will assume they are standard bearings for now and double check that with what the machinist tells me. thanks
