Clevite Caterpillar 3406 C18 6 Cyl 3408 8-Cyl 3412 12-Cyl Individual Main Bearings

These are individual main bearings from Clevite, designed for Caterpillar engines like the 3406, C18, 3408, and 3412. Main bearings are crucial for supporting the crankshaft and ensuring it spins smoothly within the engine block. They sit between the crankshaft journals and the engine block's main bearing caps, reducing friction and wear in these high-stress areas.

Clevite is known for making well-built engine components, and these bearings are no exception. They are built to handle the demands of heavy-duty diesel engines, helping to maintain proper oil clearance for optimal lubrication. This specific set is for engines with 6, 8, or 12 cylinders, ensuring a precise fit for the intended applications. Proper installation is key to their performance and longevity, so always refer to the manufacturer's service manual for detailed instructions.
