Default Are the Main Bearings for 850 the same as C70?

Hey guys, I am rebuilding my motor and I cant seem to locate any main bearings. I constantly find bearings for the C70 but nothing for the 850. The dealer here claims them to be "Vintage" parts. But they have bearings for the C70 and the engines look the same, but I dont know if the bearings would be the same.

Any one have any idea?

Or at least know where I can get Main Bearings? I need +.25mm

Thank for the help guys.

I would give us a call first. I think we can still get them for you.

If not, I don't know if RSI sells them for the 850s.

Are you sure you need +.25?

I've done two high mileage 850's and put original size back in and plasti gaged and they were perfect.

For bearings I'd call Engine Parts Warehouse in Atlanta. I bought a set of Top Line mains for a reasonable price and they measured great across the board.

I used OEM's with all of their crazy color coding on the second engine only because I had them but you have to buy more than you need because they only come in sets. The Top Lines are easier. I have some left over of various colors if you're interested. See bottom post https://volvoforums.com/forum/showth...t=36440&page=3

Actually I did. The first and second are only Standard sized main Bearings.

The third is only Rod Bearings, and the last dont carry the parts.

I already called you guys, Dont carry them. I'm waiting a response from you actually to see if you could locate them.
