What is the primary function of main bearings?

Main bearings support the crankshaft within the engine block. They create a precise oil clearance that allows the crankshaft to rotate smoothly while preventing metal-on-metal contact.

Does this set include all the main bearings needed for the engine?

Yes, this Clevite MS2279A set includes all the main bearings required to replace the main bearings on compatible 2.4L DOHC and 2.4L DOHC Turbo engines.

What should I check before installing new main bearings?

Before installation, ensure the crankshaft journals are clean and within specified tolerances. It's also recommended to check the crankshaft for any damage or excessive wear that could affect bearing performance.
