What does the +0.50mm sizing mean for these bearings?

The +0.50mm sizing indicates that these bearings are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.50mm. This is a common practice during engine rebuilding to clean up wear or minor damage on the crankshaft.

What is the construction of these King Engine Bearings?

These connecting rod bearings are made with a bimetal construction. They feature an aluminum base, which helps with heat dissipation and provides good wear resistance for the demands of an engine.

Product Details

King Engine Bearings is known for making solid engine components, and this connecting rod bearing set is no exception. If you're rebuilding the engine in a BMW M10-powered vehicle, these bearings are a well-built option to consider. They are sized at +0.50mm, meaning they are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.50mm to clean up wear or damage.

These bearings feature a bimetal construction with an aluminum base, which helps with heat dissipation and wear resistance. This type of construction is common in performance and performance-replacement bearings because it offers a good balance of strength and thermal properties. They are designed to fit a range of BMW models from the 1500 series up through the 320i, making them a versatile choice for many M10 engine builds.

When installing these bearings, remember they are a critical wear item. Ensure your crankshaft journals are properly prepped and that you use the correct assembly lube as recommended by King Engine Bearings. This set is specifically for the connecting rod journals and is sized to account for machining.
