What does 'Size 1.0' mean for these main bearings?

The 'Size 1.0' designation indicates that these bearings are 0.001 inch undersize compared to the standard factory size. This is typically used when the engine's crankshaft journals have been machined down to correct for wear or damage during a rebuild.

What is bimetal construction?

Bimetal construction means the bearing is made of two layers. It typically features a steel backing for strength and an aluminum-based alloy overlay for good bearing surface properties like conformability and heat transfer.

Do these bearings come with installation instructions?

While this set includes the main bearings, it's recommended to refer to the vehicle manufacturer's service manual or King Engine Bearings' official installation guidelines for proper torque specifications and procedures.
