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

The '+0.50mm' designation indicates that these bearings are oversized by half a millimeter. This means they are designed to be used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.50mm during an engine rebuild to account for wear or damage.

What is the construction of these connecting rod bearings?

These bearings feature a bimetal construction, which means they are made from two different layers of metal. They have an aluminum base, a material known for its good bearing properties under high pressure and speed.

Do these bearings come with installation instructions?

While these bearings are designed as a direct replacement, it is always recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions or a service manual for the correct procedure and torque specifications.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1981-1986 Ford Escort, these connecting rod bearings from King Engine Bearings are a solid option. They are specifically made for the 98Ci and 110Ci 1.6L engines found in those models. Connecting rod bearings are critical for proper engine function, as they sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft, allowing the rod to spin smoothly while handling significant loads.

This set is built with a bimetal construction, featuring an aluminum base. This type of material is chosen for its ability to handle the high pressures and speeds within the engine. This particular set is sized at +0.50mm, meaning it's intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.50mm during an engine rebuild. Using the correct bearing size is crucial for maintaining proper oil clearance and ensuring the longevity of your engine.
