What is tri-metal construction?

Tri-metal bearings use three layers of material: a steel backing for strength, a bronze-nickel intermediate layer for load carrying, and a thin overlay of babbit (a soft alloy) for conformability and embeddability. This construction is known for its durability and ability to handle high loads.

Do these bearings come with the necessary hardware for installation?

This listing is for the main bearing set only. Installation typically requires specific tools and adherence to manufacturer torque specifications, which are not included with the bearings.

Are these bearings suitable for performance or heavy-duty use?

The tri-metal construction is well-suited for demanding applications and provides good durability. They are a popular choice for engine rebuilds that may encounter heavier workloads than standard passenger car use.
