What does the +0.50mm size mean for these bearings?

The +0.50mm designation indicates that these bearings are 0.020 inches larger in diameter than standard size. This means they are intended for use when the engine's crankshaft has been machined down by 0.020 inches during an overhaul or rebuild.

What is the construction of these main bearings?

These bearings are constructed using a bimetal design, which features an aluminum base. This type of construction is common for main bearings as it offers good load-carrying capacity and wear resistance.

Are these bearings a direct replacement for all 2.2L Chrysler engines?

This bearing set is designed for the 2.2L engine found in many Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles. However, it is specifically a +0.50mm undersize set, so it should only be used if the crankshaft has been machined to that size.

About this part

Product Details

King Engine Bearings is well-known for making solid engine components, and this Main Bearing Set is no exception. If you're rebuilding the bottom end of a Chrysler 2.2L engine, these bearings are designed to handle the job. They feature a bimetal construction with an aluminum base, which is a common and effective material for main bearings that need to handle load and wear.

This particular set is sized at +0.50mm, meaning it's intended for crankshafts that have been machined down by 0.020 inches (0.50mm) during an engine rebuild. Using the correct undersize bearing is crucial for ensuring proper oil clearance and bearing function. This set fits a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles from the early 80s through the mid-90s, including popular models like the Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Reliant, and Chrysler LeBaron.
