What is the advantage of a bimetal aluminum base bearing?

A bimetal bearing with an aluminum base offers a good balance of strength and bearing properties. The aluminum provides a good surface for the crankshaft to rotate against, while the underlying structure offers support and helps manage heat effectively.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a main bearing set, meaning it includes all the necessary bearings to replace the main bearings for your engine's crankshaft.

About this part

Product Details

Built with an aluminum base, this main bearing set from King Engine Bearings is specifically sized at +0.50mm for your Mitsubishi 6G72 or 6G72T engine. These bearings are crucial for the rotating assembly, providing a smooth, low-friction surface for the crankshaft to spin within the engine block. When rebuilding or refreshing an engine, especially one that's seen many miles, replacing the main bearings is a key step to ensuring proper oil clearance and long-term reliability.

King Engine Bearings uses a bimetal construction, which combines the strength of steel with the bearing properties of aluminum. This design helps manage heat and wear effectively. Because these are an oversized set, they are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.50mm to correct for wear or damage. Proper installation and oil clearance are critical for these components to function correctly and prevent premature engine failure.
