What does the '+0.50mm' size mean for these bearings?

The '+0.50mm' indicates that these bearings are 0.50 millimeters larger in diameter than standard size. This means they are intended for use when the engine's crankshaft journals have been machined down to this specific undersize during an engine rebuild.

What is the construction of these connecting rod bearings?

These bearings are constructed with a bimetal design, which utilizes an aluminum base. This material choice helps manage heat and provides a durable surface for the crankshaft to rotate against.

Are these bearings a direct replacement for all Saab 99 engines?

This set is specifically designed for Saab 99 models from 1972-1980 that are equipped with the B20, B20E, B202, or Bz20 engine variants. It's important to confirm your specific engine code before ordering.

Product Details

These connecting rod bearings from King Engine Bearings are built with a bimetal construction, using an aluminum base. This design is crucial for the demanding environment inside your engine, helping to manage heat and provide a solid bearing surface. If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1972-1980 Saab 99, especially those with the B20, B20E, B202, or Bz20 engines, these bearings are a well-built replacement for worn-out original parts.

This set is specifically sized at +0.50mm oversize, meaning they are intended for crankshaft journals that have been machined down to accommodate this larger size during an engine rebuild. Proper bearing clearance is essential for oil flow and preventing metal-on-metal contact, which is why using the correct size during an engine overhaul is so important. King Engine Bearings is a popular name in engine components, known for producing reliable parts for a wide range of applications.
