Description

168F-1205TVC3 Double Roller Crankshaft Bearing – Clone, Predator, Tillotson & Honda GX200


Upgrade your engine’s durability and crankshaft stability with the 168F-1205TVC3 Double Roller Crankshaft Bearing—a high-performance solution for race and modified small-block engines.


This self-aligning double-row bearing is designed to handle increased load and stress, making it an excellent choice for high-RPM or high-output builds where crankshaft flex or minor misalignment is a concern. The dual rows of precision rollers offer enhanced radial load capacity and alignment tolerance, helping maintain crankshaft integrity under extreme operating conditions.


Key Features:

  • Double-Row Roller Design: Increases load capacity and stability over single-row bearings.
  • Self-Aligning Capability: Ideal for applications where crankshaft flex or misalignment may occur.
  • Recommended for Modified Engines: Perfect for builds with increased horsepower and RPM.
  • Durable Construction: Built to withstand prolonged stress in race and performance environments.


Fitment & Compatibility:

  • Honda GX200
  • Predator 212 (Hemi & Non-Hemi)
  • Tillotson 196R / 212R / 225RS
  • Ducar 196 / 212/ 224
  • Wildcat 223 / 240
  • Ghost 212
  • Other 196cc–225cc clone small-block engines


Why Use a Double Roller Bearing?

Standard crank bearings may not tolerate flex caused by high-RPM operation and cylinder pressure. The 168F-1205TVC3 bearing helps maintain alignment between the crank and block, reducing wear and promoting engine longevity in demanding setups.


AKRA Rules for Crankshaft Bearings

Any 9-ball self-aligning bearing is allowed. Ceramic bearings are not allowed. The bearing may be cleared for slip fit in the block.


NKA Rules for Crankshaft Bearings

40.4.28: Bearings 

Crankshaft bearings shall be of metallic (magnetic steel) construction (excluding retainers), conventional design, stock appearance, and the same dimensions as the OEM bearings. This includes inner and outer races as well as the balls and rollers. No other materials are allowed. 

FAQ

Q: What is a double roller crankshaft bearing?

A: It’s a self-aligning, double-row bearing designed to handle higher loads and reduce the risk of crankshaft misalignment, especially in high-RPM or performance engines.


Q: Will this bearing fit my Predator 212 engine?

A: Yes, this bearing is compatible with both Hemi and Non-Hemi Predator 212 engines, as well as Tillotson 196R/212R/225RS, Honda GX200, and most clone engines.


Q: Why should I use a double roller bearing in a performance engine?

A: Modified engines experience increased crankshaft flex and side loads. A double roller bearing helps maintain alignment, reduces friction, and extends engine life.


Q: Is this a drop-in replacement?

A: In most cases, yes. However, always verify your block and side cover clearances before installation—especially in heavily modified or stroker builds.


Q: What size is the 168F-1205TVC3 bearing?

A: It has the standard dimensions used for small block clone engines (typically 25mm ID x 52mm OD x ~15mm width), but confirm with your engine spec before purchasing.


Q: Can I use this bearing with billet side covers?

A: Yes, this bearing is compatible with EC billet Side covers and OEM-style side covers that accept standard GX200 clone crank bearings. These will not fit the ARC Billet Side Covers.
