Product Details

This Clevite Main Bearing Set, part number MS876P20, features a 0.020 inch undersize. This specific sizing is crucial when rebuilding an engine where the crankshaft journals have been machined down to correct for wear or damage. These bearings are built with a multi-layer material construction, combining steel for strength with a bearing alloy that's designed to handle the loads and heat generated by a V8 engine.

When you're working on a classic Mopar V8, like those found in a 1968 Dodge Charger or a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, the main bearings are critical for keeping the crankshaft properly supported and aligned. Worn bearings can lead to excessive crankshaft movement, oil pressure loss, and ultimately, engine damage. Clevite has been a well-known name in engine bearings for a long time, and this set is a solid option for many Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth V8 applications from the 1960s and 1970s. They fit right and are made to handle the demands of these engines.

Proper installation is key with any engine bearing. Make sure your crankshaft journals are clean and within the specified tolerance for the 0.020 inch undersize before installing these bearings. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for detailed installation procedures and torque specifications.
