What does '0.010 inch undersize' mean for these main bearings?

This means the bearings are manufactured to be 0.010 inches smaller in diameter than standard. This is typically used when a crankshaft has been machined down by 0.010 inches to remove wear or damage.

Do these main bearings come with installation instructions?

While this set is designed as a direct fit for the specified Cadillac engines, it's always recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions or a factory service manual for proper torque specifications and procedures.

What other engine components might I need when installing main bearings?

When rebuilding an engine, you'll typically need new main bearing bolts or studs, assembly lube, and potentially new rear main seals. It's also crucial to have your crankshaft professionally measured and machined if you're using undersize bearings.
