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

The +0.50mm sizing indicates that these bearings are designed for a crankshaft where the connecting rod journals have been machined down by 0.50mm. This is common during engine rebuilds when the crankshaft needs to be resurfaced due to wear or damage.

Why are connecting rod bearings important?

Connecting rod bearings create a low-friction surface between the connecting rod and the crankshaft. This allows the crankshaft to rotate smoothly while handling the forces from combustion, preventing direct metal-on-metal contact and ensuring proper lubrication.

What is the typical application for these bearings?

These bearings are typically used during an engine rebuild or repair for Chevrolet and Jeep vehicles with a 173Ci 2.8L engine. They are specifically for the connecting rod journals and are sized for a machined crankshaft.
