Product Details

The XP Series rod bearings from King Engine Bearings use a tri-metal copper-based material, which is a solid foundation for handling the demands of performance engines. These bearings are specifically made for the 2002-2008 Mini Cooper S models, covering the R50, R53, and R52 chassis. If you're rebuilding the top end of your Mini's engine, especially if it sees spirited driving, these bearings are a well-built choice.

King's PMaxBlack overlay is a key feature here, offering superior load capacity compared to standard bearings. This means they can better withstand the higher pressures found in performance applications. Additionally, the Radialock design helps achieve optimal crush height, ensuring the bearing seats properly in the connecting rod for consistent oil flow and performance. This attention to detail in their construction makes them a popular option for Mini owners looking for reliable engine internals.
