360 Main Crank Engine Bearings - Out of Production?

Rifledriver · Oct 29, 2024

Ferrari main bearings are all basically the same size. Some are narrow and some wide, some grooved, some plain. Most are sold as individual shells. I just made up a set selecting bearing shells from a few different engines.

If your engine guy doesn't know this, you really need to pick more carefully because he is clueless.

I have the same problem. There are no main bearings. Can anyone find one?

Hello,

New to this forum - I recently purchased a 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider and I am refreshing the motor. The head gasket had a small leak which led to low compression in one cylinder, not by much, but enough to warrant a refresh.

Anyways, I have been searching far and wide trying to source main crank engine bearings for the 360 engine, to no avail. Most distributors tell me Ferrari stopped making them and they aren't available anymore. I called some aftermarket manufacturers of engine bearings, who say they aren't willing to deal with the legal ramifications of making them.

Does anyone know of a solution to find main bearings for the 360? Given the high-ish production numbers for the platform, I can't imagine that nobody makes replacement main bearings for these engines. Any help is appreciated!
