What does the '+1.0' size mean for these bearings?

The '+1.0' designation indicates that these bearings are 0.001 inches undersize. This means they are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by that amount during an engine rebuild.

What is the construction of these connecting rod bearings?

These bearings are made with a bimetal construction, utilizing an aluminum base. This type of construction is well-suited for the demands of connecting rod applications in an engine.

Are these bearings a direct replacement for all 5MGE engines?

Yes, these bearings are designed as a direct replacement for the connecting rod bearings in 5MGE engines within the specified vehicle fitment. Ensure your crankshaft journals are prepared for the +1.0 size.

About this part

Product Details

King Engine Bearings is known for making solid engine bearings, and this set is no different. If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1981-1992 Toyota Cressida, Celica, or Supra, specifically with the 5MGE engine, these connecting rod bearings are a well-built choice. They are designed to fit right and provide reliable performance for your engine's bottom end.

These bearings feature a bimetal construction with an aluminum base, which is a common and effective material for handling the loads and temperatures found in a connecting rod application. This set is sized at +1.0, meaning it's intended for crankshaft journals that have been machined down by 0.001 inches. Using the correct undersize or oversize bearing is crucial for maintaining proper oil clearance and ensuring the longevity of your engine rebuild.
