I recently purchased a rebuilt Dodge 251 cu. in. military engine. Unfortunately the engine had been sitting for a while, and we found the rings and bearings to be rusted beyond the point of being used. I have had not problem in finding the rings and rod bearings, HOWEVER the crank/block bearings are a different story. The bearings have MS stamped on them. The bearing dimples are on the opposite site of the civilian version. Finally the MS version bearings have 2 oil holes while the civilian versions only have 1. The bearings were made by Clevite. I would really appreciate and advise as to were I might be able to purchase the proper bearings. Thanks, Jack.
