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

The +0.50mm designation indicates that these bearings are slightly larger than standard size. This is typically used when the engine's crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.020 inches (0.50mm) to remove wear or damage. It's crucial to match the bearing size to the crankshaft journal size for proper engine assembly.

Are these bearings environmentally safe?

Yes, these bearings feature a lead-free composite, making them an environmentally safe choice for engine builds.

What kind of engines are these bearings best suited for?

These bearings are ideal for medium-load engines. This means they are well-suited for many common passenger car applications where extreme racing loads are not a factor.
