What does the '.050 Over' designation mean for these bearings?

The '.050 Over' means these bearings are 0.050 inches larger in diameter than standard size. They are designed to be used with a crankshaft that has had its main journals machined down by 0.050 inches to compensate for wear.

What kind of engine work is required to install these bearings?

Installing main bearings is a significant engine rebuild task. It involves disassembling the engine, removing the crankshaft, and carefully fitting the new bearings to both the crankshaft journals and the engine block's main bearing saddles.

Does this set include connecting rod bearings as well?

No, this is a main bearing set only. It includes the bearings that support the crankshaft within the engine block. Connecting rod bearings, which support the connecting rods on the crankshaft, are sold separately.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding a worn-out engine, replacing the main bearings is a critical step to bring it back to its original performance. This Omix main bearing set is specifically sized at 0.050 inches undersize, meaning it's intended for use with a crankshaft that has been machined down to that specific dimension. This is a common practice when the original crankshaft journals have worn beyond standard specifications.

This complete set includes all the main bearings needed for your 134 cubic inch L-Head or F-Head engine, covering a wide range of Willys and Jeep models from 1941 through 1971. Omix offers these replacement parts to help you get your classic Jeep back on the road with reliable internal engine components. Proper installation will require engine work, as these are internal engine components that need to be fitted to the crankshaft and engine block.
