What is the purpose of flanged bearing thrust?

Flanged bearing thrust helps to control the crankshaft's end play, which is the amount of fore-and-aft movement it can have. This keeps the crankshaft properly centered within the engine block, preventing excessive movement that could cause damage.

What is the correct clearance for these bearings?

Refer to the ACL installation instructions or your vehicle's service manual for the precise oil clearance specifications. Proper clearance is essential for adequate oil flow and the longevity of the bearings.

Do these bearings come with installation hardware?

This listing is for the crankshaft main bearing set only. Any necessary installation hardware, such as main cap bolts or oil, should be sourced separately.
