What is the main function of main bearings in an engine?

Main bearings sit between the crankshaft and the engine block. Their primary job is to support the crankshaft, allowing it to rotate smoothly while maintaining the correct oil clearance. This prevents excessive friction and wear.

What does the '25MM' in the part description refer to?

The '25MM' indicates the main journal diameter of the crankshaft that these bearings are designed to fit. It's important to ensure your crankshaft's main journals measure 25mm for proper compatibility.

What else might I need when installing main bearings?

When installing main bearings, you'll need to ensure proper lubrication with assembly oil, follow the manufacturer's specified torque sequence and values for the main caps, and have a clean work environment. A torque wrench is essential for accurate installation.
