Do these bearings require crankshaft machining?

No, these are standard size bearings. They are designed to replace your original bearings without needing to machine the crankshaft.

What does 'High Performance' mean for these bearings?

It means they are built with materials and tolerances suitable for reliable operation under higher stress and heat conditions than standard replacement bearings.

What else might I need when installing main bearings?

You will need engine assembly lubricant to coat the bearings before installation. It's also recommended to check crankshaft journals for straightness and wear, and to replace engine oil and filter after installation.
