Toledo Bottom End

[AndyThomas]

I have got the bottom end of my Toledo 1300 in bits to replace the bearings but I and having problems trying to get the correct replacement.<br>
<br>
My Toledo parts catalogue shows the Main as 149082 and the Big Ends as 149081, but these parts numbers seem to cross reference to a 6 cylinder engine?<br>
<br>
Am I correct in assuming that the Toledo/1300/1500 Dolomites and the latter Spitfire all have the same bearings i.e. Mains RTC1753 and Big End RTC1754?<br>
<br>
Any help would be welcome.

The later 1300 engines had the same bottom end as the Spit 1500, Dolly 1500, 1500TC - It's only the Herald, Spit 1300 and 1300fwd that had the other type (Herald prefix GE, GK was late 1300).<br>
<br>
I could be wrong, but I think the reason they cross reference with the 6 cyl cars is because it was deemed in someone's infinite (infinitely poor, IMO) wisdom costs could be cut if the 4 and 6 cyl OHV engines shared as much as possible, including bearings.<br>
<br>
When you order the new shells, Canley are good for making sure you're getting the right part, and the Toledo's the same engine as the Dolly 1300.<br>
<br>
If you find a damned good price, let me know, I want to do the bottom end on a Dolly 1300 lump before I put it in the autgo! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

My Dolomite catalogue ('76 on) gives mains as rtc1753 and bigends as rtc1754. When I replaced the bigend bearings on my 1500 Dolly I went to Cardinal Triumph (sadly no more) and they didn't have any for a 4 cylinder engine so they raided a box for a 6 cylinder engine so the cross referencing works in practice too! Maybe one size does fit all..............

Thanks for your reply.<br>
<br>
I think you are right, the Toledo engine DG25000 -> used the same bearings as the 6 cylinder engines but were then given their own part numbers latter when the Dolomites came along.<br>
<br>
Moss seem to have the best price on bearings (they actualy supply Rimmers) and I can get the sets off the shelf from my local shop.<br>
