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

The +0.50mm sizing indicates that these bearings are intended for use when the connecting rod journals on the crankshaft have been machined down by 0.50mm. This is typically done to remove wear or damage from the original surface.

What is the construction of these connecting rod bearings?

These bearings feature a bimetal construction with an aluminum silicon base. This type of bearing material is well-known for its good load-carrying capacity and wear resistance in engine applications.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a set of connecting rod bearings, meaning it includes all the necessary bearings to replace the ones on your engine's connecting rods.
