What is the main purpose of connecting rod bearings?

Connecting rod bearings sit between the crankshaft and the connecting rod. Their main job is to create a low-friction surface that allows the rod to rotate smoothly around the crank journal while maintaining a thin film of oil for lubrication.

What does 'tri-metal construction' mean for these bearings?

Tri-metal bearings have three layers: a steel backing for strength, a copper-lead alloy for strength and embeddability, and a thin overlay of babbitt (a soft alloy) for excellent conformability and resistance to corrosion.

Do these bearings come with installation instructions?

This bearing set does not include installation instructions. It is recommended to consult your vehicle's specific service manual for the correct installation procedures and torque specifications.
