What does the '+.002in' on the housing size mean?

This indicates that the housing bore diameter for these bearings is .002 inches larger than standard. This is typically used when the connecting rod housing bore has been machined to a larger size to ensure proper clearance.

What is the benefit of the Manganx strengthened aluminum material?

The Manganx strengthening process enhances the durability and load-carrying capacity of the aluminum bi-metal material, helping these bearings withstand the stresses of high-performance Hemi engines.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock Hemi engine rebuild?

Yes, these bearings are designed for Chrysler Hemi V8 engines and are a well-built option for both stock rebuilds and applications where improved durability is desired.
