What does 'bimetal' construction mean for these bearings?

Bimetal bearings, like these from King Engine Bearings, feature a strong aluminum alloy base layer. This is topped with a bearing material that helps maintain the oil film between the bearing and the crankshaft, crucial for reducing friction and wear.

When should I use standard size (STD) bearings?

Standard size bearings are used when your crankshaft journals are still within the manufacturer's original specifications. If the crankshaft has been machined undersize due to wear or repair, you would need to use an undersize bearing set.

What is the typical lifespan of main bearings?

The lifespan of main bearings depends heavily on proper installation, consistent oil changes with the correct oil type, and the overall condition of the engine. With good maintenance, they can last for many thousands of miles.

Product Details

Built with an aluminum base, this bimetal main bearing set from King Engine Bearings is designed for specific Volvo engines, including the 960 and B6254G/S models. These bearings are crucial for supporting the crankshaft within the engine block, handling the immense forces generated during combustion and rotation. The bimetal construction offers a good balance of strength and conformability, helping to maintain oil film integrity under load.

This set is a standard size (STD), meaning it's intended for use when the crankshaft journals are within factory specifications. If your engine has been rebuilt or modified, it's important to verify the journal dimensions before installation. King Engine Bearings are a popular choice for many rebuilds, offering a well-built component that meets the demands of engine operation. Proper installation, including correct torque and oil clearances, is key to ensuring these bearings perform as expected and contribute to a healthy engine.

This main bearing set fits a range of Volvo vehicles, including models like the 960, S80, and XC60. Always confirm fitment for your specific year and model to ensure you're getting the right part for your engine build.
