What does '0.025 inch undersize' mean for these bearings?

This means the bearings are designed for crankshaft journals that have been machined down by 0.025 inches. This is common during an engine rebuild when the crankshaft needs to be resurfaced due to wear or damage.

What is the main function of connecting rod bearings?

Connecting rod bearings sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft. They create a precise oil film that allows the rod to rotate smoothly around the crank journal, reducing friction and wear.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This is a set of connecting rod bearings, typically including enough bearings for all the connecting rods in the specified engine.
