What does the +0.50mm sizing mean for these bearings?

The +0.50mm sizing indicates that these bearings are designed for a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.50mm. This is typically done to correct wear or damage on the original crankshaft, allowing for proper oil clearance and engine operation.

What is the construction of these main bearings?

These bearings feature a layered construction. They have a strong steel backing for structural support and a specialized bearing overlay material on the surface that contacts the crankshaft. This design helps manage friction and wear.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a main bearing set, meaning it includes all the necessary main bearings required for a complete engine rebuild of the bottom end.

About this part

Product Details

King Engine Bearings has a reputation for making solid engine components, and this main bearing set for Mercedes Benz OM611 engines is no exception. If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your OM611, these bearings are designed to handle the demands of the engine. This particular set is sized at +0.50mm, meaning it's intended for crankshafts that have been machined down by 0.50mm to correct for wear or damage.

These bearings are made with a layered material construction, featuring a steel backing for strength and a bearing surface designed for good oil retention and wear resistance. The steel backing is crucial for maintaining the bearing's shape under load, ensuring consistent oil clearance. King uses a specialized overlay material that helps to reduce friction and wear, which is important for the longevity of your engine rebuild. The +0.50mm sizing is a common requirement when a crankshaft needs more than just a polish, offering a way to restore proper clearances and oil pressure.
