Clevite Ford 122 2.0L 4 Cyl 1971-74 Main Bearing Set

This is a Clevite MS1084P main bearing set, specifically made for the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine found in 1971 through 1974 Ford Pinto models. Main bearings are critical components that sit between the crankshaft and the engine block, allowing the crankshaft to spin smoothly while supporting its weight and the forces from combustion. When rebuilding or repairing your engine, replacing these bearings is a key step to ensuring proper oil clearance and long-term reliability.

Clevite uses a multi-layer bearing construction with a steel backing for strength, a bronze overlay for load carrying, and a babbit overlay for smooth operation against the crankshaft. This particular set is designed to meet the original equipment specifications for your Pinto's 2.0L engine, ensuring it fits right and performs as expected. Proper installation with the correct oil clearances is essential for these bearings to function correctly and prevent premature wear.
