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

The +0.50mm designation indicates that these bearings are 0.50mm larger in diameter than standard bearings. This size is used when the engine's crankshaft has been machined down by 0.50mm during a rebuild to correct wear or damage.

What is the tri-metal construction?

Tri-metal bearings have three distinct layers: a steel backing for strength, a copper-lead alloy layer to handle high loads, and a nickel-plated overlay for improved durability and wear resistance. This design offers a good balance of strength and performance.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

These bearings are specifically sized at +0.50mm, which means they are intended for engines where the crankshaft has been machined to this larger size. They are not a direct fit for a stock, unmachined crankshaft.
