King Engine Bearings Toyota 5ME/5MGE/7MGE/7MGTE (Size +1.25) Rod Bearing Set

If you're rebuilding the engine in your Toyota Celica, Cressida, or Supra from the 70s, 80s, or early 90s, getting the connecting rod bearings right is crucial for engine health. These King Engine Bearings rod bearing set, sized at +1.25mm, are designed to provide the correct clearance between your crankshaft and connecting rods. This ensures proper oil flow and lubrication, which is vital for preventing wear and keeping your engine running smoothly.

King uses a bimetal construction with an aluminum base for these bearings. This type of material is known for its good compatibility with crankshafts and its ability to handle the loads placed on the connecting rods. Because these are a +1.25mm size, they are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 1.25mm, allowing for a fresh bearing surface and restoring original clearances. This set is a solid option for many Toyota models from the 1970s through the early 1990s, including popular choices like the Cressida and Supra.
