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 rebuilding to ensure proper oil clearance with worn or resurfaced crankshafts.

What is the material of these connecting rod bearings?

These bearings feature a bimetal construction with an aluminum silicon base. This material is chosen for its ability to handle loads while maintaining good conformability and oil retention.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a set of connecting rod bearings. Typically, a set includes all the necessary bearings for the connecting rods on your engine.

Product Details

Built with a bimetal construction using an aluminum silicon base, these King Engine Bearings connecting rod bearings are specifically made for the Smart M 132.910/930 engine found in the 2008-2017 Smart Fortwo. This set is sized at +0.50mm, meaning they are intended for engines where the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.50mm during a rebuild. This bimetal material offers a good balance of strength and conformability, helping to maintain oil film integrity under load.

When you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Smart Fortwo's engine, the connecting rod bearings are a critical component. They sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft, allowing the rod to rotate smoothly while handling significant forces. King Engine Bearings is a well-known name in engine bearings, and this set is designed to meet the needs of a performance-oriented rebuild or a standard engine overhaul where precise tolerances are key. Having the correct bearing size, like this +0.50mm set, is essential for proper oil clearance and engine longevity.
