Re: What if the lockup torque converter clutch is the cause of the main bearing problems?

Furthermore:
It is my understanding that the Packard V8 wears the MIDDLE (#3) main bearing faster than any of the rest. So that would contradict any chaances of the lock up converter to cause any premature wear. No??


As for the SBC reaar main wear we have to keep in mind that GM went to shit over the last 20 years. So without some indepth analysis of the modern SBC vs the first 35 to 40 years of SBC and any changes (incl metalurigacal) then no determination can made about the wear.
