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

The +0.50mm sizing indicates that these bearings are designed for crankshaft journals that have been machined down by 0.50mm. This is common during an engine rebuild when the original journals have wear or damage and need to be reconditioned to a specific undersize.

What are the main materials used in these bearings?

These bearings utilize a bi-metal aluminum material that has been strengthened with manganese. They also incorporate a lead-free composite material, which is environmentally safe.

Are these bearings suitable for all VW/Audi engines?

This specific set is designed for VW/Audi engines with the CAVA, CAXA, BLF, BLG, and BTS engine codes. It's important to verify that your engine matches one of these codes before purchasing.
