What is the Tri Armor coating on these bearings?

The Tri Armor coating is a multi-layer process applied by Clevite. It's designed to reduce friction and provide an extra layer of wear protection, especially during engine startup and when under load.

Are these bearings for all main positions or just one?

This specific set is for the #5 main bearing position. It's important to ensure this is the correct bearing for your engine's configuration when rebuilding.

What else might I need when installing main bearings?

Proper installation requires a clean engine block and crankshaft, along with the correct torque wrench to follow manufacturer specifications. You'll also need appropriate engine oil for assembly lubrication.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1999-2005 Subaru Impreza, these Clevite Tri Armor #5 Thrust Main Bearing Sets are a solid choice for the EJ series. Main bearings are critical for keeping the crankshaft properly supported and aligned within the engine block, and thrust bearings specifically manage the fore-and-aft movement of the crank. This set is designed to meet the demands of these engines, ensuring smooth operation and proper oil control.

Clevite uses their Tri Armor coating on these bearings, which is a multi-layer process that helps reduce friction and improve durability. This coating is designed to work with the oil film in your engine, providing an extra layer of protection against wear, especially during startup and under load. They are well-built to handle the stresses of daily driving and performance applications alike, helping to maintain proper oil clearance for the life of your engine rebuild.

When installing main bearings, it's important to ensure the crankshaft and bearing surfaces are perfectly clean and that you follow the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. This set is intended for the #5 main position, so make sure it's the correct bearing for your specific engine configuration.
