What does the '0.05' in the part number signify?

The '0.05' indicates that this main bearing set is 0.05 inches undersize. This means it is designed to be used with a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.05 inches from its original size during an engine rebuild.

What is the GPC overlay mentioned for these bearings?

The GPC overlay is a specific material used by King Engine Bearings. It is a high-performance overlay designed to provide durability and withstand the demanding conditions found in diesel engines.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock crankshaft?

No, these bearings are specifically 0.05 inches undersize. They are intended for use with a crankshaft that has been machined down to this specific undersize dimension during an engine rebuild. Using them on a stock-sized crankshaft will result in incorrect oil clearance.

Product Details

This is a King Engine Bearings Main Bearing Set, specifically designed for General Motors Duramax Diesel engines. These bearings are crucial for the rotating assembly, supporting the crankshaft within the engine block. This particular set is 0.05 inches undersize, meaning it's intended for crankshafts that have been machined down to match this specification during an engine rebuild.

King Engine Bearings are known for their well-built construction. This set uses their GPC overlay, which is a high-performance material designed to handle the stresses of diesel engines. The 0.05 undersize is important because it ensures a precise fit and proper oil clearance when used with a correspondingly machined crankshaft. Getting the oil clearance right is key to engine longevity and performance, especially in high-torque diesel applications.

When rebuilding a Duramax diesel, using bearings that meet the required specifications is essential. This set from King Engine Bearings offers a solid option for those who have had their crankshaft turned to a 0.05 undersize. Always refer to your engine's service manual for exact specifications and installation procedures.
