What is the main function of main bearings in an engine?

Main bearings are a critical part of your engine's rotating assembly. They are located between the crankshaft and the engine block, supporting the crankshaft and allowing it to spin freely while handling the immense forces generated during combustion.

Why is it important to replace main bearings during an engine rebuild?

During an engine rebuild, especially after significant wear or damage, replacing main bearings is essential. They ensure the crankshaft has the correct clearance to spin smoothly, maintain proper oil pressure, and prevent further damage to the crankshaft and block.
