What does the +1.0mm sizing mean for these bearings?

The +1.0mm sizing indicates that these bearings are intended for use with crankshaft journals that have been machined down by 1.0mm. This is common during engine rebuilds when the crankshaft may have wear or needs to be refinished.

What is the advantage of a bimetal bearing with an aluminum base?

Bimetal bearings with an aluminum base offer a good balance of strength and conformability. The aluminum base provides a solid foundation, while the overall design helps manage oil flow and withstand the loads placed on the connecting rod during engine operation.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a connecting rod bearing set, meaning it includes all the necessary bearings for a complete engine application, typically for all cylinders.
