Construction & Design:
The main bearings are constructed using a tri-metal copper-based alloy, known for its excellent strength and fatigue resistance. This material choice ensures the bearings can withstand the high loads and stresses typical of performance engines. The pMaxKote polymer coating further enhances durability by reducing friction and preventing wear, which is critical for maintaining engine longevity during aggressive driving or racing conditions.
King’s Radialock technology is incorporated to maintain the correct crush height, which is essential for proper bearing seating and oil clearance. This precise engineering reduces the risk of bearing movement or failure, contributing to smoother engine operation and improved reliability.
Installation & Fitment:
This main bearing set is designed as a direct fit replacement for the Subaru BRZ models from 2013 through 2022 and Toyota 86 models from 2017 through 2020 with the FA20 or 4U-GSE engines. Installation requires standard engine rebuild procedures, including proper cleaning and inspection of the crankshaft journals. No modifications are necessary when using the specified .026 size bearings, but professional installation is recommended to ensure correct clearances and optimal engine performance.
What's Included:
- Main bearing set sized .026 for Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 FA20 / 4U-GSE engines
