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

Main bearings are crucial components that support the crankshaft within the engine block. They maintain precise oil clearances, allowing the crankshaft to rotate smoothly while ensuring adequate lubrication and heat dissipation.

What vehicles does this Clevite main bearing set fit?

This set is designed for Chrysler 2.2L and 2.5L engines found in many vehicles from 1981 to 1995, including models like the Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Reliant, and Chrysler LeBaron.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1981-1995 Chrysler, Dodge, or Plymouth vehicle with a 2.2L or 2.5L engine, a new set of main bearings is a critical component. These bearings sit between the crankshaft and the engine block, supporting the crankshaft and allowing it to spin freely while maintaining precise oil clearances. Without them, the crankshaft would grind directly against the block, leading to catastrophic engine failure.

This main bearing set from Clevite is built to meet the demands of these engines. They are designed to provide the correct oil clearance, which is crucial for proper lubrication and heat dissipation. When you're putting an engine back together, getting these clearances right is key to a long-lasting rebuild, and Clevite has a reputation for making well-built engine components that fit right.

This set is compatible with a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Reliant, and Chrysler LeBaron. Ensure you have the correct specifications for your engine before ordering, as proper installation is essential for performance and longevity.
