What is the purpose of connecting rod bearings?

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

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

Tri-metal overlay refers to a bearing construction that uses three distinct layers of material. This advanced design provides excellent strength, wear resistance, and conformability to the crankshaft journal, which is crucial for high-performance and heavy-duty applications.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a set of connecting rod bearings. Typically, a set includes all the bearings needed for all the connecting rods in the engine, usually eight bearings for a V8 configuration.
