I noticed that I had torqued down the number 1 main cap on backward. I didn't try to start the engine, but it was turned around 10-15 times by hand. Should I replace the bearing? If so, do I need to replace the upper bearing as well? They are standard size bearings.
I'd like to not have to buy an entire set for one bearing. If I must replace the bearing I'd like to not have to take the entire crank out again to do the upper. Is this too much to ask?
Edit: Online OEM part distributors will sell one upper and lower bearing for $10.99 shipped, unless they email after I've ordered and say no we won't do that.
So now that I can come to better terms with replacing the one bearing, should I replace the upper shell also? It was never on reverse...
