87461600 Kolbenschmidt MAIN BRG SET

These bearings are really the unsung heroes inside your engine. Their job is to let the crankshaft spin smoothly within the engine block. They’re basically these little cushions—precision – made rings—that sit between the crankshaft and the block. They reduce friction and absorb a lot of the force from the pistons firing. A set includes all the main bearings—there's one for each point where the crankshaft is supported. Think of the crankshaft as the backbone of your engine’s power delivery. It takes the up – and – down motion of the pistons and turns it into the rotational force that ultimately gets your wheels moving. These bearings allow that to happen, letting the crankshaft spin freely. Without them, everything would grind to a halt very quickly. They’re absolutely critical to the whole process. Well, the engine puts a massive amount of stress on these little guys. Constant pressure, heat, and friction. Over time, they wear down. You’ll notice if they start to go bad—usually it’ll start with a knocking sound coming from the engine, especially under load. Ignoring it can lead to serious engine damage—like a seized crankshaft, which is a really expensive fix. Replacing the main bearing set is part of a good engine rebuild or major service. It’s preventative maintenance that can save you a ton of money and headaches down the road. You can find a good set, including OEM options, over at Fixparts Online, but any reputable parts supplier should carry them. It’s really one of those things where spending a little upfront can really protect your investment. They essentially act like a shield for the crankshaft, preventing metal – on – metal contact. Drive with confidence: Main Bearing Set (MPN 87461600) is backed by a 12-month warranty!
