Mahle Main Bearing Set for VW 1200-1600cc, STD Case, .50 mm Crank, STD Thrust

When the crank has been ground .50 mm undersize but the case bores are still standard, this is the Mahle combination to use. The center main is steel backed with an aluminum face, which avoids the center web pounding out that softer all-aluminum center bearings can cause.

Fitment & Compatibility

For VW 1200-1600cc engines. Confirm the crank grind size with a micrometer or the machine shop's paperwork before ordering, as the .25 mm and .50 mm sets look alike.
