What does the +0.75mm sizing mean for this bearing set?

The +0.75mm sizing indicates that these bearings are larger than the standard size. They are designed to be used when the crankshaft's main journals have been machined down by 0.75mm to ensure a proper fit and oil clearance.

What is bimetal construction?

Bimetal construction for engine bearings typically means they have a steel backing for strength and a bearing material layer, often aluminum-based, on the surface that contacts the crankshaft. This combination helps with load carrying capacity and heat transfer.

Does this bearing set come with installation hardware?

This product listing is for the main bearing set only. Installation hardware, such as main cap bolts or oil, is not included and should be sourced separately.

About this part

Product Details

King Engine Bearings is known for making solid engine components, and this Main Bearing Set is a great example for your 1981-1985 Ford Escort or Mercury Lynx. If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your 1.6L 8V engine, these bearings are a critical piece to get right. They are designed to handle the loads and friction that come with keeping your crankshaft spinning smoothly.

This particular set is built with a bimetal construction, meaning it has an aluminum base. This design helps with heat dissipation and provides a good surface for the crankshaft to ride on. It's important to note that this set is sized +0.75mm, so it's intended for engines where the main journals have been machined to that specific size. Always double-check your journal measurements before ordering to ensure you get the correct fitment for your rebuild.
