What does '0.040 inch undersize' mean for these bearings?

This means the bearings are manufactured to be 0.040 inches smaller in diameter than a standard size bearing. This is typically used when the crankshaft journals have been ground down by 0.040 inches during a rebuild to remove wear or damage.

Do I need to measure my crankshaft journals before ordering?

Yes, it's highly recommended. You should always measure your crankshaft journals to confirm if they have been machined to an undersize specification like 0.040 inches, or if they are standard size.

What is the primary function of connecting rod bearings?

Connecting rod bearings sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft. Their main job is to provide a low-friction surface that allows the rod to rotate smoothly around the crank, while maintaining the critical oil clearance needed for lubrication and cooling.
