What does the +0.50mm sizing mean for my engine?

The +0.50mm sizing indicates that these bearings are intended for a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.50mm (approximately 0.020 inches). This is common when rebuilding an engine to correct wear or achieve specific bearing clearances.

What is the construction of these main bearings?

These bearings feature a bimetal construction with an aluminum base. This design helps with heat dissipation and provides a durable surface for the crankshaft to rotate against.

Do these bearings come with installation hardware?

This listing is for the main bearing set only. Installation hardware, such as main cap bolts or seals, are typically sold separately and should be checked against your vehicle's specific repair manual.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Ford 2.0L or 2.3L 8-valve engine, getting the main bearings right is crucial for long-term health. This set from King Engine Bearings is sized at +0.50mm, meaning it's designed to fit crankshaft journals that have been machined down by 0.020 inches to account for wear or to achieve a specific clearance.

These bearings are constructed with a bimetal design, featuring an aluminum base. This construction helps manage heat and provides a solid surface for smooth operation against the crankshaft. They are made to fit a range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the mid-70s through the early 90s, including popular models like the Ford Ranger and Mustang, as well as the Mercury Capri. Ensuring proper clearance and lubrication with these bearings is key to preventing premature engine failure and maintaining oil pressure.
