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 handling the loads generated during combustion and power transfer. Proper main bearings are essential for engine longevity and performance.

Does this bearing set include the crankshaft bearings?

Yes, this is a main bearing set, which means it includes the bearings that support the crankshaft in the engine block. It does not include connecting rod bearings.

Are these bearings undersized or oversized?

This is a standard size main bearing set. If your crankshaft has been machined undersize, you will need to order the corresponding undersize bearing set.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the bottom end of your air-cooled Volkswagen, a solid set of main bearings is crucial. This set from Clevite includes the main bearings you need to get your engine back in running order. They are designed to fit a range of popular air-cooled VW models, including the Beetle, Transporter, and Karmann Ghia.

Clevite has been a well-known name in engine bearings for a long time. These bearings are made to meet the demands of an air-cooled engine, which often run hotter than their water-cooled counterparts. Proper bearing clearance is key to oil flow and engine longevity, and this set aims to provide that for your specific application. Make sure to check your engine's service manual for the correct installation procedures and any necessary machining or clearance checks.
