Each set contains 12 individual bearing shells—2 shells per rod for a 6-cylinder engine—that are straight cut and interchangeable between the rod and cap positions. Rod bearings support the crankshaft journals inside the connecting rods, and they are replaced during an engine overhaul or whenever there is excessive clearance, low oil pressure, or bearing wear to restore proper engine health.
