I did the bearings one at a time because the machine line-bored the beejezus out of the block...so bearing numbers were useless I found out later...luckily not too much later.
I realized I had installed the bearings in the reverse order. When I discovered this, I realized I had a 5 where a 4 was supposed to go but the block still rotated fine...meaning they were too loose. At that point, I was leary about everyone so I replaced them one at a time, going up a size, torquing, test rotation, if it turns, repeat with larger bearing, test rotation, if it doesn't turn go back to the previous bearing size.
Time consuming but I know they're correct now! It's one of those things you want to take the extra time on because you definately dont want to get that part wrong. It's very disheartening when you do....to hear the CLAK CLAK CLAK CLAK on your new motor.
Good luck....Jody
