What is the purpose of main bearings in an engine?

Main bearings are a critical part of your engine's bottom end. They sit between the crankshaft and the engine block, supporting the crankshaft and allowing it to rotate smoothly. They handle significant load and friction, so their condition directly impacts engine health and longevity.

What does the 'Tri Armor' coating do?

The Tri Armor coating is a layered finish applied to the bearing surface. Its main purpose is to enhance the bearing's resistance to wear and reduce friction, particularly during the engine's break-in period. This helps protect both the bearing and the crankshaft journals from damage.

Does this bearing set come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This listing is for the main bearing set only. It includes the main bearings themselves. You will need to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional hardware or specialized tools required for proper installation.
