What is the size of these main bearings?

This is a standard size main bearing set. If your crankshaft has been machined undersize during a rebuild, you will need to order the corresponding undersize bearing set from Clevite.

What else might I need when installing main bearings?

When installing main bearings, it's crucial to have a clean work environment. You'll also need a reliable torque wrench to ensure the main caps are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications, and a good quality assembly lube to protect the bearings during initial startup.

Does this set include the thrust bearings?

This specific part number, MS1454A20, is for the main bearings only. If your engine requires thrust bearings, they are typically sold separately and should be verified for compatibility.
