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

Main bearings support the crankshaft within the engine block. They allow the crankshaft to rotate smoothly while maintaining a thin film of oil between the bearing and the crank journal, reducing friction and wear.

Does this bearing set come with everything needed for installation?

This set includes the main bearings themselves. You will need to refer to your vehicle's service manual for any additional installation procedures, torque specifications, or related components required for a complete engine rebuild.

What is the advantage of a tri-metal bearing construction?

Tri-metal bearings, like these from Clevite, offer a strong combination of durability and conformability. The steel back provides structural integrity, while the alloy layers and overlay help manage heat, reduce friction, and resist wear under demanding conditions.
