What is tri-metal construction?

Tri-metal bearings use three layers: a steel backing for strength, a copper-lead overlay for load capacity, and a babbitt overlay for reduced friction. This design is common in performance and heavy-duty applications.

What is the purpose of main bearings?

Main bearings support the crankshaft within the engine block. They allow the crankshaft to rotate smoothly while maintaining a precise oil gap, which is essential for lubrication and preventing wear.

Do these bearings come with installation hardware?

This product is for individual main bearings only. Installation hardware, such as main bearing bolts or seals, is typically sold separately. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for a complete parts list.

Product Details

These Clevite Continental main bearings are built with a tri-metal construction, a common choice for performance and durability in many engine builds. This design uses a steel backing for strength, a copper-lead overlay for load carrying, and a thin overlay of babbitt for reduced friction. They are designed to handle the stresses of the crankshaft, ensuring smooth rotation and proper oil clearance.

When you're rebuilding an engine, getting the main bearings right is crucial for longevity and performance. Clevite has been a well-known name in engine components for a long time, and these bearings reflect that experience. They are made to precise specifications to ensure they fit right and perform as expected, helping to maintain the correct oil film between the crankshaft and the block. This is important for preventing wear and ensuring your engine runs efficiently.

If you're in the middle of an engine overhaul, these individual main bearings are a reliable choice. Make sure to check your engine's specific service manual for the correct clearance specifications and installation procedures. Proper installation is key to getting the most out of these well-built components.
