Number of main bearings
Most engines have at least two main bearings— one at each end of the crankshaft. Additional bearings may be located along the crankshaft, sometimes as many as one bearing per crank pin, as used on many modern diesel engines and petrol engines designed for high RPM.
Can you replace main bearings without pulling motor?
Yes, you remove the main earing cap, install an upper main bearing removal tool into the main bearing oil hole in the crankshaft and carefully turn the crankshaft to push the upper bearing out.
How many main bearings does a 4 cylinder engine have?
3 bearings
In general, All single and twin cylinder engines have two main bearings. Four-cylinder engines in a car have 3 bearings. High luxury engines of six cylinders have 4 bearings.
How many main bearings does a V8 have?
Some V8 engines have five main bearings, with one crank pin between each pair of adjacent main bearings. Most straight-5 engines have six main bearings, to help counter the essential imbalance of this design.

How many main bearings does a V6 engine have?
V6 engines, excluding Volkswagen’s narrow-angle VR6 (to be discussed later), are not just made by splitting inline-6 into two banks arranged in V-shape. A V6 has a very different crankshaft – with only 4 main bearings instead of 7.
How many main bearings are in a diesel crankshaft?
Main bearing count. We have a 6 piston 1 MW diesel engine at our facility as per general rule of thumb it has 7 main bearings.
