What does the '050' size mean for these bearings?

The '050' indicates that these bearings are 0.050 inches undersize. This is important when the crankshaft has been machined (ground) undersize during an engine rebuild. Using the correct undersize bearing ensures proper clearance for lubrication.

What is the material of these main bearings?

These bearings are made with a bimetal construction, featuring an aluminum silicon base. This material is chosen for its good bearing properties, helping to manage heat and wear in the engine's main journals.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This is a main bearing set, which includes all ten bearings needed to service the main journals on your Ford V8 engine. You get the complete set required for a full bottom-end rebuild.

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. If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Ford 351 cubic inch (5.8L) or 400 cubic inch (6.6L) V8, these bearings are designed to handle the job. They are built with a bimetal construction, using an aluminum silicon base, which helps with durability and performance in these applications.

This set is specifically sized at 0.050 inches undersize, which is crucial for engines that have had their crankshafts ground down during a rebuild. Having the correct bearing size ensures proper oil clearance, which is vital for lubricating the crankshaft and preventing premature wear. This set includes ten bearings, covering all the main journals for your V8 engine.
