Product Description

The King MB798AM Main Bearing Set is a direct-fit, standard-size bearing kit for BMW M20 (2.0-2.7L), M50B25, and M52B20-28 engines built between 1982 and 2000. Featuring bimetal construction with steel backing and aluminum overlay, these bearings offer OEM-level durability and performance. The full 360° oil groove ensures superior lubrication, making them ideal for reliable, long-lasting engine operation.

Designed for engine builders and DIY mechanics performing stock rebuilds, this 7-pair set covers all main journals (front, intermediate, and rear). The precision machining meets stringent SAE-783 standards for load-bearing and wear. If your engine requires undersize bearings (e.g., 0.25 mm), choose the corresponding MB798AM0.25, MB798AM0.5, etc. (each sold separately).
