What does the '+1.0mm' size designation mean for these bearings?

The '+1.0mm' indicates that these main bearings are 1.0 millimeter larger in diameter than standard size. This means they are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 1.0mm to remove wear or damage, restoring the proper fit.

What is the construction material of these main bearings?

These bearings feature a bimetal construction, utilizing an aluminum base. This design helps the bearings conform to the crankshaft surface and maintain a consistent oil film, which is important for reducing 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 to replace the complete set for your Nissan engine.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1982-1997 Nissan Sentra, especially those with E15, E16, E13, or E15ET engines, getting the main bearings right is crucial. These bearings sit between the crankshaft and the engine block, supporting the rotating assembly and ensuring smooth operation. This set from King Engine Bearings is designed to replace your worn-out originals, helping to restore proper oil clearance and reduce friction.

This particular set is 1.0mm oversize, meaning it's intended for crankshafts that have been machined down by 1.0mm to clean up wear or damage. They are constructed with a bimetal design, using an aluminum base for good conformability and embeddability, which helps them adapt to the crankshaft surface and maintain an oil film. This construction is a popular choice for many engine applications, offering a solid balance of performance and durability for rebuilt engines.

When installing these bearings, always refer to the manufacturer's service manual for the correct oil clearance specifications and installation procedures. Ensuring proper lubrication during assembly and break-in is key to their longevity.
