What does the .020 undersize mean for these bearings?

The .020 undersize specification indicates that these bearings are designed for a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.020 inches. This is typically done to correct for wear or damage on the original crankshaft journals.

What is the primary 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 essential for lubrication and preventing friction.

What material is used in Clevite main bearings?

Clevite uses a multi-layer material construction in these bearings, which is chosen for its durability and ability to withstand the demanding conditions within an engine.
