Product Details

These Clevite main bearings are built with a tri-metal material that offers excellent strength and wear resistance. They are designed to meet the original equipment specifications for Detroit Diesel 50 and 60 Series engines, ensuring a proper fit and reliable performance. Main bearings are critical for supporting the crankshaft and maintaining the correct oil clearance, which is essential for engine longevity and smooth operation.

The tri-metal construction is a popular choice for heavy-duty applications because it combines a steel backing for strength with intermediate and overlay layers that provide good embeddability and conformability to the crankshaft. This design helps to reduce friction and wear, even under demanding operating conditions. When you're rebuilding or overhauling your Detroit Diesel engine, using bearings that match the original design parameters is key to a successful outcome.

This listing is for an individual main bearing. You will need to order the correct quantity and size for your specific engine build. Always refer to your Detroit Diesel service manual for the proper installation procedures and torque specifications.
