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

The '+1.0' designation indicates that these bearings are 1.0mm 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 during an engine rebuild.

What is the construction of these King Engine Bearings?

These bearings are made with a bimetal construction, which uses an aluminum base. This type of material is well-suited for handling the loads and heat generated within an engine's rotating assembly.

Do these bearings come with the necessary hardware for installation?

This listing is for the main bearing set only. Installation typically requires specific engine assembly procedures and may involve additional components not included in this set. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation guidelines.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1981-1992 Toyota Cressida, especially one with a 5ME, 5MGE, 7MGE, or 7MGTE engine, a fresh set of main bearings is critical. These bearings sit between the crankshaft and the engine block, supporting the rotating assembly and ensuring smooth operation. Without them, you'd have metal-on-metal contact, leading to rapid wear and catastrophic engine failure.

This set from King Engine Bearings uses a bimetal construction with an aluminum base, which is a well-built design for handling the loads in these Toyota engines. They are sized +1.0mm, meaning they are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 1.0mm to clean up any wear or damage. Using the correct size bearing is essential for maintaining proper oil clearance, which is key to engine longevity and performance.

When you're putting an engine back together, getting the bearing clearance just right is a crucial step. This set is designed to fit right into your Cressida's engine block, making the rebuild process smoother.
