What does the '+0.50mm' sizing mean for these bearings?

The '+0.50mm' designation means these bearings are 0.50mm larger in diameter than standard size. This is crucial when the connecting rod journals on your crankshaft have been machined down by 0.50mm to repair wear or imperfections.

What is trimetal construction?

Trimetal construction refers to a bearing made of three distinct layers of material. This layered approach allows for optimized properties like strength, conformability, and embeddability, which are essential for handling the high loads and temperatures in an engine's bottom end.

Do I need to replace the crankshaft when using these bearings?

These bearings are specifically sized for a crankshaft that has already been machined undersize by 0.50mm. If your crankshaft journals are still at standard size, you would need a standard-sized bearing set instead.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1993-2004 Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Beetle, or Passat, getting the connecting rod bearings right is crucial. These King Engine Bearings are a trimetal set designed for the ABL, AEY, AGR, AHH, and AHU engine codes, and they're sized 0.50mm undersize, which is important if your crankshaft journals have been machined during the rebuild process.

King uses a trimetal construction, which means they're built with multiple layers of different materials to handle the high pressures and temperatures found in the engine's bottom end. This design helps ensure consistent oil film support, reducing friction and wear on your crankshaft and connecting rods. Because these bearings are specifically sized at +0.50mm, they're intended for use when the connecting rod journals on the crankshaft have been ground down by 0.50mm to clean up any imperfections or wear.

When you're putting an engine back together, especially after it's been worn or damaged, using well-built bearings like these from King is a smart move. They're a popular choice for engine rebuilds where reliability is key.
