Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC299230 main bearing kit for?

What does 0.030 inch oversize mean on the RTC299230?
The 0.030 inch oversize RTC299230 kit suits a crankshaft reground 0.030 inch from standard journal size. Match the kit to your crankshaft's regrind, as a grade that doesn't match the journal gives incorrect oil clearance. Confirm your journal size before ordering.
