What does '0.5mm undersize' mean for these bearings?

This means the bearings are manufactured to be slightly smaller than the standard size. They are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.5mm during an engine rebuild to ensure a proper fit and oil clearance.

What kind of engines are these bearings best suited for?

These bearings are made with a bi-metal aluminum material and a lead-free composite, making them ideal for low to medium-load engines. They are a good choice for standard engine rebuilds or vehicles used for daily driving.

Are these bearings compatible with all engine rebuilds?

While these are well-built bearings for many applications, they are specifically sized at 0.5mm undersize. You must ensure your crankshaft has been machined to this specific size for proper installation and engine function. Always consult your engine's service manual for detailed specifications.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in a 1995-2005 Dodge Neon, a 1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse, or a similar vehicle from that era, getting the main bearings right is crucial. These King Engine Bearings main bearing set, specifically sized 0.5mm undersize, are designed for those engines. They are made from a bi-metal aluminum material that's well-suited for low to medium-load applications, making them a solid choice for a standard rebuild or a street-driven performance build.

King has been specializing in bearings since 1960, and this set reflects that focus. The lead-free composite is environmentally safe and offers good performance for the intended engine types. Because these are 0.5mm undersize, they are meant to be used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down to match this size during an engine rebuild. Always confirm your crankshaft journal measurements before ordering.
