    No, the problem is and was the ridiculous long life oil change intervals combined with the low emissions oil; use long life 3 every 9000 miles and change the bearings at 100k miles and there is no problem.

    I think I'm going to replace the bearings and bolts now, use the longlife oil as suggested every 9k then forgot about it, I've just brought the car so can't confirm what oil has been used, it has service history but from not dealer, do I use the bolts from tps specified for this vehicle?
    Are there any known failures after the bearings are replaced?
    Thanks for the replies ��

    Yes, use the bolts TPS supply according to your VIN. I know Gaz incredulous when I say it but I have actually never personally experienced this failure on a customers car with or without new bearings but quite often we get asked to change them preventively and the upper shell is always heavily worn as in my picture earlier in this thread.

    Hi guys so I've got the bearings from tps, does it matter which way the sputter top bearings face as there's a black line on the one end, not sure if this meant anything? So I've found that the 701 B bearings are the top sputter ones and the 701 C are the bottom ones

    I have never used genuine bearings on these as I think they are too expensive but Glyco bearings go in either way.

    Do I need to make any crankshaft measurements or do people just fit the standard spec bearings ? I know I have brought the tps ones now and was just going to fit them ,The car has only
    done 68k so hopefully minimal crank wear
    Thanks

    Just make sure the rod surfaces are BONE DRY before fitting the shell bearings then lube afterwards before reassembly. Best done off engine as in situ it is very difficult to ensure the shells are fitted dry into the rods. I did that once in my youth but never again as the poor Corsa had its crank chewed as the new shells got a tiny bit of oil in behind them and they had a dance around the crankshaft as a result!
