#1: big end bearings Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Sun Jul 24, 2011 2:42 pm ---- you might of seen that i put a thread up about a bottom end knock, well i think its a good idea to change the big end bearings. Question is where do i get them from. How much will they cost. I've never had to buy any before.

all in all, its 100x easier to fit a new engine and probably cheaper
