Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is the difference between standard and undersized main bearings?
   Standard size bearings are for crankshafts that have not been reground. Undersized bearings are used when the crankshaft has been machined to a smaller diameter to remove damage. The undersize of the bearing compensates for the material removed from the crankshaft.
2. How do I know what size main bearings I need?
   The correct size of main bearings is determined by measuring the diameter of your crankshaft’s main journals after any machining has been done. Your machinist will typically specify the required undersize. If the crankshaft has not been machined, standard size bearings are used. Always refer to your engine’s service manual and plastic gauge 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 has two or four halves). Please verify the exact quantity in the product listing.
4. Do I need any special tools to install these main bearings?
   Yes, installing main bearings requires specific tools such as a torque wrench to ensure proper bolt tightening and plastic gauge to check bearing clearance. A main bearing installation tool might also be necessary. Refer to your vehicle’s service manual for detailed instructions. Professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced in engine rebuilding.
