1. What is the main bearing set?
2. What are three reasons to upgrade?
3. Why buy the King Engine Bearings main bearing set MB5707SI0.5?

What is the main bearing set?

The main bearings make it possible for the crankshaft to rotate at high speeds within an engine block. These bearings have locating tags, oil holes, and grooves. They also come in two parts; the engine block holds one part while the other is secured in the crank cap.

What are three reasons to upgrade?

Better Lubrication

Your stock main bearings may not be able to cope with your car's upgraded 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 diminish the lubricating effect of the thin oil film between the main bearings and the crankshaft. As a result, the crankshaft may rub against your stock bearings a bit more, causing increased heat and friction that may cause the falling apart of the bearings. Worse still, it may even weld onto the crankshaft and cause catastrophic damage to your engine. These King Engine Bearings' main bearings are made with extended oil grooves and tapered groove run-outs that ensure a steadier flow of oil, and they have also been fabricated 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 2017 Hyundai Sonata are excellent. But, they cannot match the King Engine Bearings main bearing set MB5707SI0.5 in terms of seizure resistance. These bi-metal aluminum bearings operate favorably within specified 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 a supplementary lead-tin-copper overlay that delivers better 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 upgrade its performance considerably.

Guaranteed to Last Longer

The King Engine Bearings main bearing set MB5707SI0.5 will last longer than your stock main engine bearings. These more rigid bearings are fashioned 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 improved heat management.
