main bearing oil order

[NightmareMoon]

What order to the mains get oil? Is it back to front or front to back?

Why? Well we're replacing all the bearings (main and rod). We have the subframe and pan off and The mains (after 38k and one oil supply issue) all look ok, some marks, but since we're in there we'll replace them.... all except the shop was having trouble accessing the one next to the trans w/o pulling the trans and all that labor. So asking if we need to pull the trans or assume that last main probably looks about the same as the others.

We did fine one real bad rod bearing, and all those are replaced.

So just asking if the last one would be more likely to be same/worse/better than the others.

About the rear bearing, it’s the thrust bearing, I’m assuming you have a manual transmission and there’s a lot of hard clutch cycles ? Best to replace the rear thrust bearing.

Yeah, its the thrust bearing. Its definitely best, and I would have, but Imm overbudget by quite a lot already, the other mains looked ok, not perfect. Forward-aft play was in spec, and a bad rod bearing was found that /should/ explain the flakes we did find (its a voodoo). Its a gamble and the shop wanted the owner to make the final decision, but figured it was most likely fine.

anyway, its a done deed. Y’all have permission to laugh at me later if its bad.
