What does the +0.25mm sizing mean for these bearings?

The +0.25mm sizing indicates that these bearings are meant for use when the engine's crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.25mm. This is a common practice during engine rebuilds to ensure proper clearance and oil flow.

What is the construction of these main bearings?

These main bearings feature a bimetal construction, utilizing an aluminum base. This type of material is well-suited for main bearings due to its properties in handling load and heat within the engine.

Are these bearings a direct replacement for all Ford 2.0/2.3L 8V engines?

While these bearings fit a wide range of Ford 2.0L and 2.3L 8-valve engines, it's important to verify the specific year and model of your vehicle. The +0.25mm sizing also means they are intended for engines where the crankshaft has been machined to this specification.

Product Details

King Engine Bearings is well-known for making solid engine components, and this main bearing set is a great example of their work for Ford 2.0L and 2.3L 8-valve engines. If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your engine, these bearings are designed to handle the loads and keep things running smoothly. They are made with a bimetal construction, using an aluminum base, which is a common and effective material for main bearings.

This set is sized at +0.25mm, meaning it's intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by that amount. Proper bearing clearance is crucial for oil flow and preventing premature wear, so using the correct size bearing after machining is important. King's bearings are a popular choice for many rebuilds because they offer reliable performance and fit right into a range of Ford vehicles from the 1970s through the early 1990s, including models like the Ford Mustang, Ranger, and Aerostar.
