Sealed Power Engine Crankshaft Main Bearing Set P/N:4979M
Sealed 4979M .25MM main bearing set for the 1979-1990 Ford Mustang 4-cylinder 2.3L and other vehicles supports the crankshaft and gives it a bearing surface to turn on. The set, also called crankshaft main bearings, sits between the crankshaft and the engine block.
A knock from the lower engine or an oil pressure warning light can mean worn main bearings. Low oil level can also trigger that light, so these signs alone do not prove the bearings are the problem. The engine takes one set, and this listing is one set.
Listed for a wide range of Ford, Mercury and Merkur models, including the 1983-1988 Ford Ranger 4-cylinder 2.0L or 2.3L and the 1985-1989 Merkur XR4Ti 4-cylinder 2.3L. The set meets or exceeds OEM specifications.
