What does '.025 inch undersize' mean for these bearings?

This means the bearings are manufactured to be slightly smaller than standard size. They are intended for use on a crankshaft where the connecting rod journals have been machined down by 0.025 inches to correct wear or damage.

Do these bearings come with new rod bolts?

This product is a set of connecting rod bearings only. It does not include new rod bolts. You will need to source rod bolts separately if your project requires them.

What is the typical lifespan of engine bearings?

The lifespan of engine bearings depends heavily on proper installation, oil quality and change intervals, and engine operating conditions. With good maintenance, they can last the life of the engine.
