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

Main bearings support the crankshaft within the engine block. They allow the crankshaft to rotate smoothly while maintaining the correct oil clearance, which is critical for lubrication and preventing metal-on-metal contact.

Does this Clevite main bearing set come with everything needed for installation?

This set includes the main bearings themselves. You will typically need to purchase new main cap bolts and ensure proper torque specifications are followed according to your engine's service manual for installation.

What is the significance of the 'P10' designation in the part number MS876P10?

The 'P10' in the part number indicates that these bearings are 0.010 inches undersize. This is common for engine rebuilds where the crankshaft journals may have been ground down to remove imperfections.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Chrysler 350, 361, 383, or 400 V8 engine from 1958 to 1973, a good set of main bearings is crucial. This Clevite MS876P10 main bearing set is built to handle the demands of these classic Mopar engines. They are designed to provide the necessary clearance and support for your crankshaft, helping to ensure smooth operation and longevity.

Clevite uses a multi-layer bearing material that includes a steel-backed overlay for strength and a bronze-impregnated overlay for reduced friction. This combination helps to dissipate heat effectively and resist wear, which is important for maintaining oil pressure and preventing premature engine failure. These bearings are made to fit right into the factory main caps, making installation straightforward for a mechanic familiar with engine work.

This set is a popular choice for many engine rebuilds, from daily drivers to more performance-oriented projects. It's a well-built component that offers reliable performance for a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles from the late 50s through the mid-70s.
