What does the +0.50mm sizing mean for these bearings?

The +0.50mm sizing indicates that these bearings are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.50mm. This is a common practice during engine rebuilds to correct wear or damage on the crankshaft.

What is the construction of these King Engine Bearings?

These bearings feature a tri-metal design. This construction typically includes a steel backing for structural integrity, a middle layer for strength, and a babbit overlay that conforms to the crankshaft and embeds debris.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a set of connecting rod bearings. Typically, a set includes all the bearings needed for the connecting rods on a specific engine configuration.

Product Details

King Engine Bearings is known for making well-built engine components, and this connecting rod bearing set is no exception.

These bearings are crucial for ensuring proper oil clearance and reducing friction between the connecting rod and the crankshaft, which is vital for engine longevity and performance.

The SV series bearings from King feature a tri-metal design with a steel backing for strength and a babbit overlay for excellent conformability and embeddability. This construction helps them handle the high loads and temperatures found in performance engines. Using a set like this during an engine rebuild ensures that your Porsche M 48.01 can be put back together with the correct clearances for optimal operation.
