Product Details

This Clevite main bearing set features a 0.030 inch undersize, meaning it's designed to be used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.030 inches during an engine rebuild. Main bearings are critical components that support the crankshaft within the engine block, allowing it to rotate smoothly while handling significant loads. When rebuilding or repairing your Chrysler 360 V8 engine from 1974 through 1994, ensuring you have the correct, well-made bearings is key to a long-lasting rebuild.

Clevite is a well-known name in engine bearings, and this set is built to meet the demands of the 360 cubic inch V8 found in a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles.
