Are you looking for engine bearings that can withstand the challenging demands of competition-level racing? Try the King Engine Bearings main bearing set MB5315AM0.5. Unlike most factory-equipped engine bearings that feature just two layers of metallic alloys on top of their steel backings, this King Engine Bearings set has more rigid material. These bearings are a grade above your stock main bearings because they have three layers of friction-resistant insulation mounted on steel backings while your stock bearings have just two. King Engine Bearings has been manufacturing engine bearings for over half a century, and so it has a lot of experience in this field. In terms of pricing, the King Engine Bearings main bearing set MB5315AM0.5 will cost you just $34.13.

What is the main bearing set?

The main bearings in an internal combustion engine are fashioned to reduce friction between the crankshaft and the engine block, enabling the crankshaft to rotate at high speeds as pushed by the piston rods. The set includes both bearings.

What are three reasons to upgrade?

Better Lubrication

The crankshaft of a higher horsepower engine requires more oiling at the bearings than that of a stock engine because it has to rotate much faster. The King Engine Bearings main bearing set MB5315AM0.5 guarantees a stouter oil film because they are made with oil clearance. They also feature extended oil grooves and tapered groove run-out that help to improve the passage of oil between the bearings and the crankshaft. These King Engine Bearings main bearings are quite long, have a big shaft size, and a considerable tunnel size.

Superior Seizure Prevention

Bearing seizure is the last thing you want for your 2005 Hyundai Sonata engine. When exposed to remarkably high temperatures (primarily because of more friction between the bearings and the crankshaft), your engine's bearings can soften, melt, and consequently get seized around the journals of your crankshaft. When spun around at high RPM, seized bearings rip up the bores in your engine block and may cause even more damage to your engine. The King Engine Bearings main bearing set MB5315AM0.5 can help prevent that because they have an additional lead-tin-copper overlay with a higher load-carrying capacity of up to 12,000 PSI or over 800 horsepower. This layer is also deformable and more friction resistant, and so it does a better job of resisting seizure.

Guaranteed to Last Longer

The King Engine Bearings main bearing set MB5315AM0.5 will last longer than your stock main engine bearings. These more rigid bearings are designed mainly for high-performance driving and high horsepower applications. They feature three layers of friction-resistant nickel and lead-tin-copper alloys, all bonded to SAE1010 high strength steel plates that will maintain crush high engine loads. In addition, these performance engine bearings deliver increased force, which results in superior heat management.
