What does the '+0.25mm' size mean for these bearings?

The '+0.25mm' designation means these bearings are 0.25 millimeters larger than the standard size. This is typically used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down (ground undersize) to clean up wear or damage, and then brought back up to size with these bearings.

What is the material of these main bearings?

These bearings are made from a tri-metal copper-based material. They also feature an enhanced babbit overlay, which is a soft metal alloy known for its good bearing properties and ability to conform to the crankshaft.

Are these bearings suitable for heavy-duty use?

Yes, the tri-metal construction with an enhanced babbit overlay makes these bearings ideal for engines that experience medium to high loads. This design helps ensure durability and consistent performance under demanding conditions.
