What is the main function of main bearings?

Main bearings sit between the crankshaft and the engine block. Their primary job is to support the crankshaft, allowing it to spin freely while handling the high forces from the engine's combustion cycles. They also help maintain consistent oil pressure.

What should I check before installing these bearings?

Before installing new main bearings, it's important to ensure your crankshaft journals are clean and free of any debris. You should also verify that the journals are within the manufacturer's specified tolerances for size and roundness.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a main bearing set, meaning it includes all the necessary main bearings required for a complete installation on the specified engines.
