What does the '+0.5' size mean for these bearings?

The '+0.5' indicates that these bearings are 0.5mm larger in diameter than the standard size. This is crucial when rebuilding an engine where the crankshaft journals have been ground down (undersized) to remove wear or damage. You must match the bearing size to the machined size of your crankshaft journals.

What is the material of these main bearings?

These bearings are made from a bi-metal aluminum material with a lead-free composite overlay. This construction is chosen for its durability and performance in medium-load engine applications.

Are these bearings environmentally safe?

Yes, the manufacturer states that these bearings feature a lead-free composite material, making them environmentally safe.
