What does the .010 size mean for these bearings?

The .010 size indicates that these bearings are undersized by ten-thousandths of an inch. This is used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down to a matching size during an engine rebuild to correct wear or runout.

What is the XP Series construction?

The XP Series refers to King Engine Bearings' advanced tri-metal material with a unique overlay. This construction is designed for improved performance, better wear resistance, and enhanced fatigue strength compared to standard bearings.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a set of connecting rod bearings, which typically includes enough bearings to replace all the connecting rod bearings in your engine.
