I just started my second motor, originally with a goal of 700hp. With these bearings I see no reason not to shoot for 800+hp. I guess we will know in a few months.

What kind of machining is required to use those main bearings?

Thanks.

It says under the product description do not use these on non machined block.

I called K B and left a message, I will get back to you as soon a they call me back. I've been on the phone with them a couple of times this week and nothing was mentioned about machine work.

Edit: I also put a call in to IAN at MAP

Any way I will let you know ASAP. Thanks

I did however get this to share with you

FRS Justin 12-23-2015 10:12 PM

Ok I just got a email back from King Bearings Tech dept. so I will copy and paste it here below.


They fit in factory positions with no modification, even though the shells are narrowed to clear an aftermarket radius. The pdf I sent earlier has all the unique bearing enhancements we made.

Thanks for reaching out!
Always here to help,
