What does 'STD' size mean for these rod bearings?

STD stands for standard size. This means the bearings are designed to fit the original factory specifications of your Mini Cooper's crankshaft journals without any machining required.

What is the tri-metal construction?

Tri-metal bearings have three layers: a steel backing for strength, a copper-based alloy layer for heat dissipation and embeddability, and a babbit overlay for a smooth running surface that conforms to the crankshaft.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This is a set of connecting rod bearings, which means it includes all the necessary bearings to replace the rods on your engine. Typically, this is enough for all connecting rods in the engine.
