What is the importance of main bearing clearance?

Main bearing clearance is critical for proper engine lubrication. It allows oil to flow between the bearing and the crankshaft journal, reducing friction and wear. Correct clearance ensures the crankshaft is properly supported.

Are these bearings suitable for a performance engine build?

While these are standard size bearings, King Engine Bearings are known for their robust construction. For performance applications, it's always best to consult with your engine builder to ensure these meet the specific requirements for your build.
