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

The +0.50mm sizing indicates that these bearings are thicker than standard. They are designed to be used with a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.50mm to correct wear or runout, ensuring proper oil clearance.

What is the overlay material on these bearings?

King Engine Bearings uses a high-performance overlay material. This layer is engineered to provide good durability and compatibility with different crankshaft surface finishes, helping to ensure consistent oil flow and bearing protection.

Are these bearings suitable for a performance build?

These main bearings are well-built and designed for reliable operation. While they are a solid choice for engine rebuilds, always consult with an engine builder or refer to specific performance build guidelines for your application.

About this part

Product Details

These main bearings are built 0.50mm over size for Opel B16Dth, B16Dtj, and B16Dtl engines. When rebuilding an engine, especially one that has seen a lot of miles or has been pushed hard, the crankshaft journals can wear down. Using an undersize or oversize bearing set allows you to maintain proper clearances with a refinished crankshaft. King Engine Bearings uses a high-performance overlay material that is designed to work with various crankshaft finishes and provide good oil flow.

King's main bearing sets are a solid option for engine rebuilds where reliability is key. They are well-built and designed to handle the stresses of regular operation. This particular set is sized at +0.50mm, meaning it's intended for use with a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.50mm to correct wear or runout. Proper installation is crucial for bearing life, so always refer to the manufacturer's service manual for torque specifications and assembly procedures.
