Connecting Rod Bearing Set - a set of big-end bearing shells for the Rover V8 petrol engine.

The connecting rod bearings are the split shell bearings between each con rod big-end and its crankshaft crankpin, providing the hydrodynamic oil-film surface on which the rod turns as the crankshaft rotates.

This set is machined to +0.010in oversize, to suit a crankshaft whose crankpins (big-end journals) have been reground 0.010in undersize. Confirm the crankshaft regrind size before ordering so the bearing shells match the journals.
