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

The +0.75mm indicates that these bearings are designed to be used with a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.75mm. This is a common practice during engine rebuilding to ensure proper oil clearance with a freshly machined or undersized crankshaft.

What is a bimetal bearing construction?

A bimetal bearing, like this one with an aluminum silicon base, uses two different materials bonded together. This construction offers a good balance of strength, wear resistance, and conformability to the crankshaft journal, which is essential for proper lubrication and bearing life.

Are these bearings a direct replacement for all Ford Zetec engines?

These bearings are specifically for Ford Zetec 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 liter engines and are sized at +0.75mm. Always verify your specific engine code and crankshaft condition to ensure this size is appropriate for your rebuild.
