What does the '+1.0mm' sizing mean for these bearings?

The '+1.0mm' indicates that these main bearings are 1.0 millimeter larger than standard size. This means they are intended for use when the engine's crankshaft journals have been machined down by 1.0 millimeter during an engine rebuild.

What is bimetal construction?

Bimetal bearings, like these from King, use a combination of materials. They typically have a steel backing for strength and an aluminum-based overlay that provides good conformability and embeddability, helping to manage wear and heat.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Audi or Volkswagen engine, a fresh set of main bearings is essential. This set from King Engine Bearings is designed for a range of Audi and VW models, including the Audi Fox, Volkswagen Golf, and Jetta, among others.

These main bearings feature a bimetal construction with an aluminum base, which helps manage heat and wear in the critical crankshaft journals. They are sized 1.0mm oversize, meaning they are intended for crankshafts that have been machined to match this size during an engine rebuild. Using the correct size bearings is crucial for maintaining proper oil clearance and ensuring the longevity of your engine.

This set is a solid option for many Audi and VW applications from the 1970s through the 1990s. Always ensure your crankshaft journals are properly measured and machined to the correct size before installing oversize bearings.
