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

The +0.75mm sizing indicates that these bearings are thicker than standard size. They are designed to be used when the connecting rod journals on the crankshaft have been machined down by 0.75mm to remove wear or imperfections.

What is the benefit of tri-metal construction?

Tri-metal bearings combine a steel backing for strength, a bronze alloy layer for load carrying, and a babbitt overlay for conformability. This construction is well-suited for managing the high pressures and temperatures experienced by connecting rod bearings.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

These bearings are sized at +0.75mm, which means they are intended for engines where the crankshaft journals have been machined to this specific undersize. If your engine's crankshaft journals are still at standard size, you would need a standard size bearing set.

About this part

Product Details

These King Engine Bearings connecting rod bearings are built with a tri-metal material construction, which is a common and well-tested approach for durability in high-stress engine applications. They are specifically sized at +0.75mm, meaning they are intended for use when the connecting rod journals have been machined down by 0.75mm to clean up wear or damage. This set is designed for Honda R16A and R18A engines found in many vehicles from 2006 to the present.

The tri-metal design typically involves a steel backing for strength, a middle layer of bronze alloy for load-bearing capacity, and a final overlay of babbitt for conformability and embeddability. This combination helps to manage the extreme pressures and temperatures found in the connecting rod area, contributing to a longer engine life. When rebuilding or repairing an engine, using bearings that are precisely sized for the machined journal is crucial for proper oil clearance and performance.
