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

Main bearings support the crankshaft within the engine block. They create a low-friction surface for the crankshaft to rotate on, ensuring smooth operation and preventing excessive wear on both the crank and the block.

Does this main bearing set come with all the necessary parts for installation?

This set includes the main bearings themselves. You will typically need to purchase new main bearing cap bolts and follow specific torque sequences and lubrication procedures outlined in your vehicle's service manual for proper installation.

What is the size of these main bearings?

These are standard size bearings, indicated by the 'P25MM' in the part number, which refers to the 2.500-inch main journal diameter. They are designed to fit engines with the specified crankshaft journal size.
