What does '0.020 inch undersize' mean for these bearings?

This means the bearings are manufactured to be 0.020 inches smaller in diameter than a standard, or '0.000' undersize, bearing. They are intended for use with a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.020 inches to correct for wear or damage.

What is tri-metal construction?

Tri-metal construction refers to a bearing design that uses three distinct layers of material. Typically, this includes a steel backing for strength, a middle layer of alloy for load carrying, and a softer outer layer for conformability and embeddability.

Do these bearings come with new main bolts?

This set includes the main bearings only. Main bearing bolts are typically sold separately, and it is recommended to use new, high-strength bolts when rebuilding an engine.

About this part

Product Details

When you're getting into the bottom end of your engine for a rebuild, the main bearings are a critical component. They support the crankshaft and allow it to spin smoothly within the engine block. This set from Clevite is designed to be a direct replacement for your stock bearings, ensuring proper fit and function.

Clevite uses a tri-metal construction for these bearings, which is a popular choice in engine building because it offers a good balance of strength and conformability. This means the bearings can adapt slightly to the crankshaft surface while still handling the loads placed on them. The 0.020 inch undersize means these are intended for crankshafts that have been machined down by that amount to correct for wear or runout.

If your crankshaft has been machined, using the correct undersize bearings is essential for proper oil clearance and engine longevity. This set is a well-built option for many engine rebuild projects.
