What does the +0.75mm size mean for my engine rebuild?

The +0.75mm sizing indicates that these bearings are designed to be used with a crankshaft that has been machined undersize by 0.75mm. This is a common practice during engine rebuilding to clean up worn or damaged crank journals.

What is the bimetal construction and why is it important?

Bimetal bearings use a combination of materials, typically steel for strength and an aluminum alloy overlay for good conformability and heat dissipation. This construction helps the bearing to adapt to the crankshaft and effectively manage heat, reducing the risk of seizure.

Does this bearing set 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 your vehicle's service manual specifications.
