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

Main bearings sit between the crankshaft and the engine block. Their primary job is to support the crankshaft, allowing it to rotate smoothly while minimizing friction and wear. Proper main bearing function is critical for the overall health of the engine's bottom end.

What does the '25MM' in the part number refer to?

The '25MM' indicates the main journal diameter that these bearings are designed to fit. This specific size is crucial for ensuring a precise and secure fit onto the crankshaft's main journals for the 6G72 engine family.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a main bearing set, meaning it includes all the necessary bearings to replace the main bearings for one engine. You get the complete set needed for a proper engine rebuild.
