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

The '+0.50mm' designation indicates that these bearings are 0.50mm larger in diameter than standard size. This means they are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.50mm during an engine rebuild to correct wear or damage.

What is King's sputter bearing technology?

Sputter bearing technology involves an advanced overlay applied to the bearing surface. This overlay is designed to reduce friction and wear, especially with modern engine oils, and helps maintain consistent oil clearance under various operating conditions.

Do these bearings come with installation hardware?

This product is a set of connecting rod bearings only. Installation hardware, such as new rod bolts, is typically sold separately and should be sourced according to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
