Available Sizes for Your Specific Rebuild Needs:

• Standard Size (BC115JSTD): You use these bearings for crankshafts that have not been reground. They maintain original factory clearances.
• 0.25mm / 0.010″ Undersize (BC115J25): These bearings are vital when your crankshaft has been reground 0.25 millimeters (approximately 0.010 inches) smaller than the standard diameter. The undersize directly compensates for the material removed from the crankshaft journals.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is the difference between standard and undersized main bearings? Essentially, standard size bearings are for crankshafts that have not been reground. Conversely, undersized bearings are used when a machinist has reduced the crankshaft diameter to remove damage. The bearing’s undersize compensates for the material removed from the crankshaft.
2. How do I know what size main bearings I need? Primarily, your machinist determines the correct main bearing size by measuring your crankshaft’s main journals after any machining. Typically, they will specify the required undersize. If the crankshaft has not been machined, you will use standard size bearings. Therefore, always refer to your engine’s service manual and use plastigauge measurements during installation to confirm proper clearance.
3. How many bearings are included in this set? A complete set for a V8 engine typically includes 10 main bearing halves (two halves per main journal, except for the thrust bearing which usually has two or four halves). However, please verify the exact quantity in the specific product listing details.
4. Do I need any special tools to install these main bearings? Yes, installing main bearings requires specific tools. For instance, you will need a torque wrench to ensure proper bolt tightening and plastigauge to check bearing clearance. A main bearing installation tool might also prove necessary. Therefore, always refer to your vehicle’s service manual for detailed instructions. Professional installation is highly recommended if you lack experience in engine rebuilding.
