What does the .026 size mean for these bearings?

The .026 size indicates that these bearings are undersized by 0.026 inches. This means they are intended for use with a crankshaft that has been machined down by that amount during an engine rebuild.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock, unmachined crankshaft?

No, these bearings are specifically .026 inch undersize. For a stock, unmachined crankshaft, you would need bearings that are standard size or a different undersize specification.

What is trimetal construction?

Trimetal construction refers to a bearing design that uses three distinct layers of materials. This design is known for its strength, durability, and ability to maintain proper oil film between the bearing and the crankshaft.
