What is the construction of these Clevite main bearings?

These bearings utilize a tri-metal construction. This includes a steel backing for strength, combined with an overlay made of lead-tin-copper. This combination is chosen for its durability and ability to maintain oil film under engine load.

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

Main bearings support the crankshaft within the engine block. They create a low-friction surface that allows the crankshaft to rotate smoothly while maintaining proper oil clearance to lubricate the rotating assembly.

Are these bearings sold as a complete set for the engine?

Yes, this is a main bearing set, meaning it includes all the necessary bearings to support the crankshaft in the engine. It is designed for the 360 cubic inch (5.9L) engine found in many Chrysler and Dodge applications.
