What is tri-metal construction?

Tri-metal construction refers to a bearing design that uses three distinct layers of materials. This typically includes a steel backing for strength, a bronze or copper-nickel alloy intermediate layer for embeddability, and a thin overlay of a softer material like babbitt for reduced friction and conformity to the shaft.

What is the main function of main bearings?

Main bearings are crucial components that support the crankshaft within the engine block. They allow the crankshaft to rotate smoothly while withstanding significant loads and heat generated during combustion and operation.

Do these bearings come with installation hardware?

This set includes the main bearings themselves. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for details on any additional hardware or supplies needed for proper installation, such as assembly lube.
