Information on the 2015 engine reconstruction

[TigerDrummer]

Greetings to everybody,
Greetings,I am seeking a set of main bearings for a 2015 Audi 5.2 engine. The engine shop submerged the block prior to our documentation of the bearing thickness colour code.The vehicle had 9,000 miles on it and was a freshwater salvage. We disassembled it, and the engine is in excellent condition. How can we ascertain the colour code? I believe it was blue, and we assume it is normal.It has come to our attention that black is the predominant colour for what is referred to as a repair bearing. We are located in the USA; this is a private project for my kid and myself. I am an aircraft mechanic. These engines are difficult to get technical information on; while we possess an overhaul handbook, it lacks detailed specifications on bearing sizes, providing only colour codes that we cannot decipher.We need a set of black mains; can someone confirm this information?We need the expertise of the 5.2 V10 specialist.

The engine block has letters that specify the required bearing shell for installation.
One side of the crankshaft has letters that specify which bearing shell should be installed in the bearing block.
The precise dimensions are not specified in the paperwork, hence only the bearing shells supplied by Audi for this engine may be installed.

Several individuals, mostly myself, want narratives and images to visualise your project.

I have now identified the individual who purchased the component I previously monitored.

I would have like to have a boy to assist with my project; nevertheless, my daughters equate my endeavour to the son I never had.

Enjoy engaging in this activity. This is an excellent educational opportunity.

As an aircraft technician, possessing quality equipment is essential; nonetheless, precise micrometres and bore gauges are necessary for obtaining accurate measurements. If you want to experiment extensively with bearing gaps, you can contemplate using plastic gauges. Tom is a qualified technician; thus, please disregard my counsel. Merely my opinion. Occasionally, Audi technical information is difficult to locate.

The image illustrates that this crankshaft has four R's, necessitating the procurement of bearing shells marked in red for each of the four bearing blocks. (This serves as an illustration, since the engine is a V6.)

Letters are also inscribed on the engine block.

you are illuminating all the information.The information we possess is somewhat vague about this matter; the colour is painted to match the hue of the bearing on the side block, as they indicate.The machine shop submerged the block; nevertheless, we were informed at that time that the engine was painted the same colour as the bearing on the block. Although we believed we saw this, we did not document it, since blue was the colour we recalled. We captured several photographs while disassembling the engine, but we failed to get that particular angle image.The issue with colour originated from inadequate input.Now you awaken us with the belief that the block contains stamped letters, and regarding the block and crank, I believe we are now on the correct path, having obtained the cross-reference from the colour of the letter, I suppose. We believe that the enormous main bearing we want is black; however, it is currently on significant backorder, with an estimated wait time of six months. They refer to this as a repair bearing for an engine with very low mileage and no crankshaft damage.Audi is very discreet on this information, making it difficult to get details.I am now out of town and will not return to the business until Thursday. I will keep you updated and give you pictures of our project for enjoyment.

The decision is yours, and there is no assurance that all bearings will possess identical colour markings.
You must get the appropriate colour code for each bearing position, namely for positions 9 and 10.

We are not yet at that point; we anticipated that they may vary in size.If that stamp exists, it will be invaluable; we have only searched for paint markings, and I need you on speed dial.You are about to hear a tale.We are heavily engaged in this project; I may need to create a YouTube video with my kid. Otherwise, much typing will occur on this computer.I will be in contact.James Wilson, Moses Lake, Washington, USA, wingnutpublishing.net
