What does the +0.75mm sizing mean for these bearings?

The +0.75mm sizing indicates that these bearings are designed for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined undersize by 0.75mm. This is a common practice during engine rebuilding to clean up wear or damage on the crankshaft.

What is bimetal construction?

Bimetal construction refers to a bearing made from two different metal layers. In this case, it's a strengthened aluminum alloy, which is chosen for its ability to handle engine loads and temperatures while providing a durable bearing surface.

Do I need to buy anything else with these bearings?

When replacing connecting rod bearings, it's standard practice to also replace the connecting rod bolts, as they are often torque-to-yield and should not be reused. You will also need new engine oil and an oil filter for the reassembly.

About this part

Product Details

If you're working on the engine for your 2013-2017 Volkswagen Tiguan, specifically models with CAVA, CAXA, BLF, BLG, or BTS engines, this connecting rod bearing set from King Engine Bearings is what you'll need. These bearings sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft, controlling the film of oil that keeps those critical rotating parts from touching.

This set uses a bimetal construction, which is a strengthened aluminum alloy. This material choice helps handle the loads and temperatures found in an engine, offering a solid option for rebuilding or replacing worn bearings. This particular set is sized +0.75mm, meaning it's intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.75mm to clean up wear or damage. It's important to match the bearing size to the machined journal size for proper oil clearance and engine operation.
