Product Details

Clevite is well-known for making solid engine components, and this Main Bearing Set, part number MS1743A50MM, is no exception. When you're rebuilding an engine, especially if you're going back to stock or a mild performance build, the main bearings are critical. They sit between the crankshaft and the engine block, allowing the crankshaft to spin freely while supporting its weight and the forces acting on it. Getting these right is key to a healthy, long-lasting engine.

This set is designed to fit a variety of Ford and Mazda vehicles, including popular models like the Ford Ranger, Ford Mustang, and Mazda B2500. The bearings are made with a specific material composition that balances durability with the ability to maintain a consistent oil film, which is crucial for reducing friction and wear. They are built to the correct specifications to ensure they fit right into the engine block and align properly with the crankshaft journals.

When you're installing these, remember that proper oil clearance is essential. Always refer to the manufacturer's service manual for the exact specifications for your vehicle to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your engine rebuild.
