Fitment Notes

Fits Ford 4.6L DOHC 24-valve V8 Modular engines only - does NOT fit the 2-valve or 3-valve SOHC variants (use MB5280XP for those applications)
Standard (STD) size - for use on crankshafts at factory main journal diameter; always measure journals before ordering
XP Series = pMaxBlack tri-metal race construction; designed for high-performance and race applications using forged steel crankshafts under sustained high load
Set includes thrust washers - no separate purchase required
2003-2004 Mustang SVT Cobra used an iron block (Romeo) with 4-bolt main caps - confirmed fitment; other DOHC applications used aluminum blocks
Does not fit the supercharged 5.4L DOHC (Shelby GT500, Ford GT) - those require a separate bearing set
Available in STDX, .026mm, and +0.25mm undersizes under separate part numbers

Features

pMaxBlack tri-metal overlay is 24% harder than conventional race bearings, rated up to 10,200 PSI load capacity
SecureBond micro-etch adhesion process prevents delamination under high-RPM sustained thermal cycling
Narrowed design accommodates large-radius aftermarket and OE forged steel crankshafts
Enlarged chamfered oil holes improve lubrication delivery under high-load race conditions
EccentriX eccentricity profiling ensures a stable hydrodynamic oil film across the full journal surface
Bull's Eye Tolerance wall thickness held to ±0.0001" for consistent clearance across all 5 main journals
Thrust washers included - covers all components needed for a complete main bearing service
Lead-free construction meets current environmental compliance standards

Product Description

The King MB5283XP is a standard-size XP Series race-grade crankshaft main bearing set engineered for Ford's 4.6L DOHC 24-valve V8 Modular engine - the high-performance heart of the Mustang SVT Cobra, Mustang Mach 1, Lincoln Mark VIII, Lincoln Continental, Lincoln Aviator, and Mercury Marauder. This DOHC-specific set is a distinct fitment from the SOHC 2V/3V variants and uses King's pMaxBlack tri-metal structure, which is 24% harder than conventional race bearings and rated to 10,200 PSI, making it the ideal choice for high-output builds using forged steel crankshafts or sustained race-duty applications.

Thrust washers are included in the set, covering all components needed for a complete main bearing installation in one purchase. As a standard-size set, the MB5283XP fits 4.6L DOHC crankshafts at factory main journal diameter. Always verify your specific DOHC engine configuration before ordering - this set does not fit the 2-valve or 3-valve SOHC variants, and does not fit the supercharged 5.4L DOHC found in the Shelby GT500 or Ford GT. Undersized variants are available under separate part numbers for reconditioned crankshafts.
