FAQ
Will these fit my Duramax?
Yes—fits 6.6L Duramax LB7/LLY/LBZ/LMM/LML (model years 2001–2016).
Do I need thrust washers?
Yes—pair with TW-610S thrust washer set (sold separately) for a complete install.
Any machining notes for .026 mm undersize?
Undersize bearings can be used, but the crankshaft must be re-hardened with a nitride heat treatment during machining.
Groove configuration?
Typical H-Series main sets use a grooved upper and a plain lower shell for oil control in performance builds.
