King Engine Bearings Audi/VW Bbz/CAxa/CAva/Azd (Size +0.50mm) Main Bearing Set

Built with a bimetal aluminum silicon base, this main bearing set from King Engine Bearings is specifically sized at 0.50mm oversize for Audi and Volkswagen engines like the BBZ, CAXA, CAVA, and AZD. Main bearings are critical for supporting the crankshaft within the engine block, ensuring it spins smoothly and stays properly aligned. When rebuilding or repairing an engine, especially one that has seen significant mileage or is experiencing wear, replacing these bearings is a key step to restoring proper oil clearance and reducing friction.

This set uses a bimetal construction, which combines the strength of steel with the bearing properties of an aluminum silicon alloy. This material choice helps manage heat and wear effectively, providing a solid foundation for your crankshaft. Because these bearings are 0.50mm oversize, they are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down to match this specific size, allowing for a fresh bearing surface and correct oil clearance.

If you're working on the crankshaft for your 2013-2017 Volkswagen Tiguan or a compatible Audi model, this set is designed to meet the needs of an engine rebuild. Always ensure your crankshaft journals have been properly measured and machined to the correct undersize before installing these bearings to achieve the intended oil clearance and performance.
