Connecting rod bearings provide the critical bearing surface between the crankshaft journals and connecting rods, allowing smooth rotation under high loads. These bearings should always be replaced during engine rebuilds and must be properly matched to the current crankshaft grind. Kolbenschmidt has been manufacturing precision engine bearings since the 1930s and continues to work directly with major automakers in bearing design and development.

Important: Bearings must be matched to the current crankshaft journal dimensions. Always measure crankshaft journals and verify proper bearing clearances during installation.
