King Engine Bearings Subaru 1300/1600 (Size +0.50mm) Main Bearing Set

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1972-1974 Subaru GL, 1300, or 1600, a fresh set of main bearings 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 specifically designed for these Subaru models and comes at a +0.50mm oversize, meaning they're intended for a crankshaft that has been machined to match this size.

King Engine Bearings uses a bimetal construction with an aluminum silicon base. This material choice helps manage heat and wear, which is important for the longevity of your engine rebuild. Because these are an oversized bearing, they are meant to be used when the original crankshaft journals have been ground down by 0.50mm to clean up any imperfections or wear. Using the correct size bearing after machining is key to restoring proper oil clearance and ensuring your engine runs correctly.
