What does the +.75 sizing mean for these bearings?

The +.75 sizing indicates that these bearings are 0.00075 inches larger in diameter than standard bearings. This is typically used when the crankshaft journals have been machined undersize to correct wear or achieve specific bearing clearances during an engine rebuild.

What is the advantage of bimetal construction?

Bimetal bearings, often with an aluminum base, offer a good combination of strength and the ability to conform to the crankshaft surface. This helps to absorb shock loads and maintain a consistent oil film, reducing friction and wear.

Are these bearings suitable for high-performance engines?

King Engine Bearings are known for their reliability and are used in many performance applications. The bimetal construction and precise sizing make them a strong choice for engines that experience higher stresses, but always ensure they meet the specific requirements of your build.

About this part

Product Details

Built with a bimetal construction on an aluminum base, this connecting rod bearing set from King Engine Bearings is designed for engines like the VW AES, AUE, and ABV. These bearings are crucial for reducing friction between the crankshaft and connecting rod, ensuring smooth engine operation and longevity. This particular set is sized at +.75, meaning it's intended for crankshafts that have been machined down by 0.00075 inches to account for wear or to achieve specific clearances.

This set includes six bearings, enough for a typical inline-six or V6 engine configuration found in many Audi, Volkswagen, and Porsche vehicles. The bimetal material offers a good balance of strength and conformability, allowing the bearing to adapt to the crankshaft surface while withstanding the stresses of combustion. King Engine Bearings is a well-known name in engine components, and this set is a solid option for rebuilding or repairing your engine.

If you're working on a performance build or a standard engine overhaul for vehicles like the Volkswagen Jetta, Audi A3, or Porsche Cayenne, these bearings are a key component. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific installation procedures and torque specifications to ensure proper fit and function.
