King Engine Bearings Ford R6A/114Ci 1.9L/121Ci 2.0L (Size +1.0mm) Main Bearing Set

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1985-2002 Ford Escort, 2000-2004 Focus, or similar Mercury models, this King Engine Bearings Main Bearing Set is a solid choice. These bearings are critical components that support the crankshaft within the engine block, allowing it to spin smoothly. This set is specifically sized at +1.0mm, meaning it's intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined to that dimension during an engine overhaul.

King Engine Bearings uses a bimetal construction with an aluminum silicon base. This material is chosen for its good load-carrying capabilities and wear resistance, which are important for the demanding environment inside an engine. Installing bearings of the correct size, like these +1.0mm units, is crucial for maintaining proper oil clearance. Correct oil clearance ensures the crankshaft is adequately lubricated and supported, which helps prevent premature wear and ensures the engine runs as intended.

When you're doing an engine rebuild, using well-made bearings like these from King is a key step in ensuring the longevity and performance of your engine. Always ensure your crankshaft journals are properly cleaned and measured before installing new bearings, and refer to the manufacturer's service manual for specific installation procedures and torque specifications.
