Fitment Notes

  • Fits GM LS/Vortec Gen III and Gen IV V8 engines - 4.8L (LR4/L20), 5.3L (LM7/LY5/LMG/LC9/L96/L83/L84), 5.7L (LS1/LS6), 6.0L (LQ4/LQ9/L96/L76/L77), 6.2L (LS3/L9H/L94/LSA), and 7.0L (LS7) - confirm engine code before ordering
  • Standard (STD) size - for use on crankshafts at factory main journal diameter; always measure journals before ordering
  • SI Series = bi-metal aluminum silicon construction with 2.5-3% silicon; ideal OE-replacement grade for stock and mild performance street rebuilds
  • Does not fit the Gen V LT-series engines (LT1, LT4, L82, L84, L86, L87) - those require a separate main bearing set
  • Cadillac CTS-V LSA (supercharged) - confirmed fitment; verify crank diameter before ordering
  • Available in .001", .010", .020", .030", .040" undersizes under separate part numbers for ground crankshafts

Features

  • SI Series bi-metal aluminum silicon construction with 2.5-3% silicon for enhanced strength and wear resistance on nodular cast iron crankshafts
  • Improved crankshaft finish characteristics reduce microscopic ferrite peaks on reconditioned journal surfaces for better oil film stability
  • Enhanced oil clearance over OE specification reduces wear and extends crankshaft service life
  • Lead-free construction meets current environmental compliance standards
  • Full 5-pair set covers all main crankshaft journals in the V8 engine
  • Tight wall thickness tolerances ensure consistent oil clearance across all 5 main journals
  • Suitable for OE replacement, street rebuilds, and mild performance applications across all LS Gen III/IV variants
  • Manufactured under IATF 16949 and SAE AS 9100 certified quality control

Product Description

The King MB5293SI is a standard-size crankshaft main bearing set engineered for GM's LS and Vortec Gen III and Gen IV V8 engine family - one of the most prolific engine platforms in automotive history, covering displacements from 4.8L through 7.0L across Corvette, Camaro, Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Avalanche, Escalade, CTS-V, Express, Savana, Trailblazer, and more from 1997 onward. The SI Series uses King's proven bi-metal aluminum silicon structure with 2.5-3% silicon content, delivering reliable OE-replacement durability for stock and mild performance street rebuilds on nodular cast iron crankshafts.

As a standard-size set, the MB5293SI fits LS Gen III/IV crankshafts at factory main journal diameter and installs without grinding or modification. It is the go-to OE-replacement choice for high-mileage rebuilds where the crankshaft is within factory specification. Always confirm your specific LS engine code and measure crankshaft journals before ordering - this set does not fit the Gen V LT-series engines. A wide range of undersizes are available under separate part numbers for reconditioned crankshafts.
