What is the size of these connecting rod bearings?

These are standard size bearings, meaning they are designed to fit crankshaft journals that are still within the manufacturer's original specifications. If your crankshaft has been machined undersize, you would need a different bearing size.

Do these bearings come with installation hardware?

This set includes the connecting rod bearings themselves. You will need to refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific installation procedures, including any required assembly lubricants or torque specifications.

Are these bearings suitable for a performance engine build?

Yes, ACL bearings are well-built and commonly used in engine rebuilds, including those with performance intentions. For high-stress applications, always ensure your crankshaft journals are in excellent condition and follow proper assembly procedures.
