ggzilla Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Datsun 411 came with the R16 engine, same as the 1600 Roadster. Main bearing set is about $75 from Nissan. Quote Link to comment

docbainey Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 You should find out what you have........3 main or 5 main. Should be a 3 main but you never know. Or could be undersize? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Yes, only ever buy bearings after you tear it down, inspect, and measure. Quote Link to comment
nismostr8jdm Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Thanks again gonna do some measuring and get some parts ordered Quote Link to comment
exit64 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Three main bearings are different sizes than the 5 main. Two different part numbers. Go over to 311s.org and look in the techwiki. All will be revealed. Quote Link to comment
