What does 'Size 1.5' mean for these bearings?

The 'Size 1.5' designation indicates that these bearings are intended for use with a crankshaft that has been machined to an undersize specification. This is common during engine rebuilds where the crankshaft may have been ground down to remove imperfections.

What is the construction of these main bearings?

These main bearings feature a bimetal construction, utilizing an aluminum base. This design helps with heat dissipation and provides a durable, low-friction surface for the crankshaft to rotate against.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a main bearing set, meaning it includes all the necessary main bearings required for a complete installation on your engine.
