What does '0.50mm oversize' mean for these bearings?

This means the bearings are slightly larger than standard size. They are designed to be installed on a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.50mm to correct wear or damage. This ensures the proper oil clearance is maintained for the rebuilt engine.

What is the construction of these main bearings?

These bearings are made with a bimetal construction that utilizes an aluminum base. This design helps with heat dissipation and provides a durable surface for the crankshaft to rotate against.

Are these bearings a direct replacement for all Renault Alliance models?

These bearings are a direct fit for the specified engine codes (C1E, E7F, K7J, C1J, C6J) found in the 1983-1987 Renault Alliance, as well as the Encore and LeCar models within their respective years. Always confirm your engine code before ordering.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1983-1987 Renault Alliance, Encore, or LeCar, this main bearing set from King Engine Bearings is what you need. These bearings are crucial for supporting the crankshaft within the engine block, ensuring it spins smoothly and without excessive friction. This specific set is designed for engines with the C1E, E7F, K7J, C1J, or C6J engine codes and is sized 0.50mm oversize, meaning it's intended for crankshafts that have been machined to that specification.

King Engine Bearings uses a bimetal construction with an aluminum base for these main bearings. This material choice helps manage heat and provides a solid surface for the crankshaft to rotate against. Because these are an oversize bearing, they are meant to be installed on a crankshaft that has been ground down by 0.50mm to correct wear or damage. Proper installation on a machined crankshaft is key to ensuring the correct oil clearance and long engine life.
