King Engine Bearings Saab B20/B20E/B202/Bz20 (Size +0.75mm) Connecting Rod Bearing Set

This is a set of connecting rod bearings for your 1972-1980 Saab 99, specifically designed for the B20, B20E, B202, and BZ20 engines. These bearings are a crucial part of your engine's rotating assembly, sitting between the connecting rod and the crankshaft journal to reduce friction and wear. When you're rebuilding your engine, especially if you're dealing with worn components or looking to restore performance, a fresh set of bearings is essential for proper oil clearance and smooth operation.

King Engine Bearings uses a bimetal construction with an aluminum base for these bearings. This type of material is chosen because it offers good conformability to the crankshaft surface while maintaining strength. The +0.75mm sizing indicates these bearings are meant for a crankshaft that has been machined undersize by 0.75mm, which is common when addressing wear or damage on the crank journals during an engine rebuild. Ensuring you have the correct bearing size for your machined crankshaft is key to achieving the proper oil clearance needed for lubrication and longevity.
