King Engine Bearings MB 582AM1.5 Main Bearing Set Ford 2.0/2.3L 8V +1.5mm Oversize

The King Engine Bearings MB 582AM1.5 is a complete crankshaft main bearing set engineered for Ford 2.0L and 2.3L 8-valve four-cylinder engines. This set is sized at +1.5mm oversize (AM1.5), designed for use with reground crankshafts that have been turned 1.5mm undersize on the main journals.

King's Alecular (AM) bi-metal bearing material features a single deep layer of an exclusive aluminum, tin, copper, and multi-metal alloy bonded to a steel backing. This construction delivers superior embedability, excellent fatigue resistance, and outstanding load-carrying capacity compared to traditional tri-metal bearings—making it equally well-suited for everyday street rebuilds and performance applications.
