Description
Main Bearing, Mahle, STD / .010 with Steel Back Center Mains, Fits Bug, Bus, Ghia, Super Beetle, Thing, and Type-3. Sold as a set.
This set of main bearings is for a motor with a standard line bore, standard thrust on the engine case, and a .010 undersize on the crankshaft.
Main Bearings with steel-backed center mains are the most desired bearing for your engine build! Steel-backed bearings hold their shape better. Under heavy loads, the aluminum-backed bearings can distort and not hold their shape.

Note:
- For 1200-, 1300-, 1500-, and 1600-style motors. These bearings will NOT work on 25hp, 36hp or Type 4 motors
- Due to the interchangeability of VW motors, we show this part fitting more years than the factory produced this size motor. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to know which part is needed. So Cal Imports will not be responsible for return shipping costs for wrong-ordered parts.
