What does the +0.75mm size mean for these bearings?

The +0.75mm sizing indicates that these bearings are designed for use when the connecting rod journals on your engine's crankshaft have been machined down by 0.75mm. This is a common practice during engine rebuilds to ensure proper fit and oil clearance.

What is the construction of these connecting rod bearings?

These bearings are made with a bimetal construction, featuring an aluminum base. This type of material is well-suited for the high-stress environment within an engine's rotating assembly.

Do I need to purchase anything else to install these bearings?

When rebuilding an engine, you will typically need a full engine gasket set, oil, and oil filter. It is also recommended to have the crankshaft professionally measured and machined if necessary, and to follow the manufacturer's torque specifications during assembly.
