Question 1

What does '0.001 oversize' mean?

Accepted Answer

When a crankshaft is reground, the journals become slightly smaller. An oversized bearing compensates for this material removal, allowing you to maintain the correct oil clearance between the rod and the crankshaft journal. This ensures proper lubrication and prevents engine damage.

Question 2

How do I know if I need oversized bearings?

Accepted Answer

If you are rebuilding your engine and have had the crankshaft journals machined, you will likely need oversized bearings. Consult with your machinist to determine the correct amount of oversize needed to achieve proper oil clearance. Using a plastigauge is a common way to measure the clearance.

Question 3

Are these bearings compatible with aftermarket connecting rods?

Accepted Answer

These bearings are designed to fit standard-sized connecting rods for the specified Ford and Lotus engines. If you are using aftermarket connecting rods, verify that they are designed to use the same bearing size as the original equipment.
