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

Main bearings support the crankshaft within the engine block. They allow the crankshaft to rotate smoothly while maintaining a consistent oil film to prevent metal-on-metal contact and wear.

Why do these bearings have two oval oil holes?

The two oval oil holes are designed to improve oil distribution to the crankshaft journals. This helps ensure adequate lubrication, especially during high-stress conditions or during engine startup, contributing to reduced wear.

Are these bearings a direct replacement for the original equipment?

This Clevite main bearing set is designed as a direct replacement for the specified Mercedes Benz OM904 and OM924 engines, intended to fit and function like the original equipment.

About this part

Product Details

Clevite is well-known for making solid engine bearings, and this Main Bearing Set, part number MS2282P, continues that tradition for Mercedes Benz OM904 and OM924 engines. If you're rebuilding the bottom end of one of these engines, getting the main bearings right is crucial for proper crankshaft support and oil flow. This set is designed to ensure your crankshaft spins smoothly and stays well-lubricated.

What sets these bearings apart is the inclusion of two oval oil holes. This design helps to ensure that oil gets to the critical surfaces of the main journals more effectively, which is especially important under load or during engine startup. Getting good oil flow to the crankshaft bearings is key to preventing wear and ensuring the longevity of your engine rebuild. These bearings are made to fit right into your engine's main caps, making installation straightforward for a mechanic familiar with engine work.
