What does the 'P10' designation mean for these bearings?

The 'P10' in the part number indicates that these main bearings are 0.010 inches undersize. This means they are intended for use with a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.010 inches during a rebuild.

What is the material construction of these bearings?

These Clevite main bearings feature a tri-metal overlay. This material composition is well-suited for heavy-duty diesel engine applications, offering good embeddability and fatigue strength.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

The product listing is for individual main bearings. You will need to order the correct quantity to complete your engine build, as specified in your service manual.

Product Details

These Clevite main bearings are built to the original equipment specifications for Detroit Diesel 50 and 60 Series engines. They are designed to provide a precise fit and reliable performance for the crankshaft in your engine. Proper main bearing function is critical for supporting the rotating assembly and maintaining correct oil clearances, which directly impacts engine longevity and smooth operation.

Each bearing in this set is manufactured with a tri-metal overlay, a common and well-proven material choice for heavy-duty applications. This construction offers good embeddability for small debris and excellent fatigue strength, helping to withstand the significant loads experienced in diesel engines. The specific sizing, indicated by the 'P10' in the part number, means these bearings are 0.010 inches undersize, which is important to note if you are reconditioning a crankshaft that has been machined to this size.

When rebuilding or servicing your Detroit Diesel 50 or 60 Series engine, using bearings that meet OE specifications ensures that the crankshaft will rotate smoothly within the block. Always refer to your engine's service manual for the correct installation procedures and torque specifications.
