What does the '+0.25mm' size mean for these bearings?

The '+0.25mm' indicates that these bearings are 0.25 millimeters larger in diameter than standard size. This is used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.25mm during an engine rebuild to ensure proper oil clearance and a snug fit.

What is the construction of these connecting rod bearings?

These bearings utilize a bimetal construction, which means they have multiple layers of material. The base layer is aluminum, providing a strong foundation for the bearing surface.

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

These bearings are a direct replacement for the 5MGE engine in the specified Toyota models, but they are specifically the 0.25mm oversize size. Ensure your crankshaft has been machined to this size before installation.

About this part

Product Details

King Engine Bearings is known for making well-built engine bearings. If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1981-1992 Toyota Cressida, especially one with the 5MGE engine, this set of connecting rod bearings is a solid choice. These bearings are crucial for ensuring smooth rotation of your crankshaft and connecting rods, minimizing friction and wear within the engine's rotating assembly.

This particular set is built with a bimetal construction, featuring an aluminum base. This design helps manage heat and provides a solid surface for the crankshaft to ride on. It's important to note that these bearings are 0.25mm oversize. This means they are intended for crankshafts that have been machined down by 0.25mm to account for wear or to achieve a specific clearance during an engine rebuild. Using the correct oversize bearing is critical for proper oil clearance and engine longevity.
