What is the main bearing set?

Main bearings are positioned within the saddles of a piston engine block, and they hold the ends of your car's crankshaft, making it easier for the crankshaft to rotate within an engine block. The King Engine Bearings main bearing set MB5315AM0.25 comprises journal bearings.

What are three reasons to upgrade?

Better Lubrication

Your stock main bearings may not be able to cope with your car's boosted engine output. In your cranked up engine, the firing pressure that pushes the connecting rods down on the crankshaft is higher, and so your crankshaft is sure to rotate much faster. The higher rotation speed of the crankshaft will weaken the lubricating effect of the thin oil film between the main bearings and the crankshaft. The crankshaft may end up rubbing against your bearings more, causing intense friction that may tear apart your bearings. Worse still, it may even weld onto the crankshaft and cause considerable damage to your engine. These King Engine Bearings' main bearings are fashioned with extended oil grooves and tapered groove run-outs that ensure a more substantial flow of oil, and they have also been made with a good oil clearance for a stouter oil film. Therefore, you can count on them to sustain optimum lubrication even with increased heat and friction levels that come with the increased horsepower.

Superior Seizure Prevention

The stock bi-metal aluminum bearings of your 2005 Hyundai Sonata are excellent. But, they cannot match the King Engine Bearings main bearing set MB5315AM0.25 in terms of seizure resistance. These bi-metal aluminum bearings operate favorably within certain horsepower levels. They are likely to flake or peel under higher engine loads. In extreme cases, their aluminum alloys may soften and melt, and as a result, the crankshaft may seize them. These King Engine Bearings main bearings have an extra lead-tin-copper overlay that delivers improved wear and seizure resistance under high engine loads. Therefore, you will do well to get these King Engine Bearings race series bearings for your car, especially if you plan to boost its performance markedly.

Guaranteed to Last Longer

The King Engine Bearings main bearing set MB5315AM0.25 is also sure to last longer. These performance engine bearings have tougher high-strength steel backings that will handle the pressures of high engine loads for longer. They also achieve increased crush heights that help to boost heat dissipation, ensuring more dependable operation for longer.
