Tell us more about the vehicle please- year, miles etc. Pictures of the old bearing? I don't know much better but a lot of people here will say your engine was not eligible for a straight up bearing replacement so consider yourself warned in advance.

Metal and plastic were found in the sump, and the intake tube had debris in it. They also replaced the RMS with the new style. Total cost 2400.00, but engine sounds smoother and I can breathe easier now... Just glad wife was supportive haha... More botox for her now.
