The 211-0592 Main Bearing is canceled for the above engines. Do not use the 211-0592 Main Bearing. Use the 317-8766 Main Bearing for diesel and the 321-5746 Main Bearing. This change is effective for all of the above engines.
The material for the main bearing has changed. The new 317-8766 Main Bearing and 321-5746 Main Bearing has an overlay for the upper and lower shells.
Refer to Table 1 for the correct main bearing kit for your engine.
