Main bearings must match both the case bores and the crank journals, so measure both or get the sizes from your machinist before ordering. A standard case or reground crank needs a different set. If you are unsure which version suits your build, contact PMB Performance. We have spent over 20 years working through air-cooled fitment questions like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUPC\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e707924413168\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.484 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"EMPI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67725100908722,"sku":"98-1471-A","price":87.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pmbperformance.com\/products\/main-bearing-set-e2-88-99-std-50mm-1200-1600cc-aluminum-backed","provider":"PMB Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
