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

The '+0.50mm' indicates that these bearings are 0.50mm larger in diameter than standard size. This means they are intended for use when the crankshaft's connecting rod journals have been machined down by 0.50mm during an engine rebuild or repair.

What is the advantage of the Tri-M+ babbit overlay?

The Tri-M+ babbit overlay is a softer material that helps the bearing conform better to the crankshaft journal. It also offers good embeddability, meaning it can absorb small particles without causing damage, which is beneficial for engine longevity.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a set of connecting rod bearings. Typically, engine bearing sets include enough bearings for all the connecting rods in the specified engine.

About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Cummins B-Series engine, getting the right connecting rod bearings is crucial. This set from King Engine Bearings is specifically made for the L4 engine and comes at a +0.50mm size, meaning it's intended for use on crankshaft journals that have been machined down by 0.50mm. King has been a specialist in bearings since 1960, focusing on producing high-quality engine bearings for a wide range of applications.

This particular set uses a tri-metal copper-based material, which is a solid foundation for durability. It's topped with their Tri-M+ enhanced babbit overlay, a softer material that helps with conformability to the crankshaft journal and provides excellent embeddability. This combination is well-suited for medium-load engines like the Cummins B-Series found in many Dodge and Ram trucks from the late 80s through the late 2000s. Having the correct bearing clearance is key to oil pressure and engine longevity, and these bearings are built to meet those needs.
