Crank Main bolts
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi everyone I am new to the forum but have browsed and found lots of useful info.
My boss bought a 2015 XF 3.0 Supercharged from the auction. It had a bad knock. So we removed the engine and tore it down.
We found the lower bearing had spun. So we got everything cleaned up machined and got ready to put back together. But now Im having issues finding the main cap bolts anywhere.
Dealer laughed at me and said you cant get the bolts and they only come with the short block at the nice cost of 14k.
Very annoyed with that and obviously wont be going and buying a short block just to have new bolts.
I would reuse the old bolts but 4 of them broke during removal.
Just wondering if anyone had dealt with this before and what else my options would be from this point. Do i just try and match some bolts from another engine that are same size?
There are 20 bolts total that hold the main caps. 10 of them are M10x1.5 x 96MM and the other 10 are M8 x 1.25 x 91MM
Or if anyone has a lead on them that would be great.
Thank you in advance.

He lists rods,bearings,pistons,head bolts and a lot more all brand new. Maybe send him a message if you can't find what you need?
