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

The '+1.0mm' indicates that these bearings are 1.0 millimeter oversize. This means they are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 1.0mm to account for wear or to achieve a specific clearance.

What is the material of these connecting rod bearings?

These bearings are constructed from a bimetal material, which includes a strengthened aluminum alloy. This construction is chosen for its ability to withstand the pressures and temperatures within the engine.

Are these bearings a direct replacement for all 2.3L Duratec engines?

While these bearings are designed for Ford 2.3L Duratec and Mazda L3-Vdt Mzr Turbo engines, the '+1.0mm' oversize means they are not a direct replacement for stock, unworn crankshaft journals. Always verify your crankshaft journal size and condition before ordering.
