What is the PMaxBlack overlay and why is it important?

PMaxBlack is a proprietary overlay developed by King Engine Bearings. It's designed to provide superior load capacity, which helps protect the bearings from damage under high stress conditions common in performance or heavy-duty applications.

What does 'Standard Size' (STD) mean for these bearings?

Standard size bearings are meant to be used with a crankshaft that is in excellent condition, either new or recently machined back to its original factory specifications. If your crankshaft has been worn beyond its standard size, you would need undersize bearings.

Does this bearing set come with installation hardware?

This product is for the rod bearing set only. Installation hardware, such as new rod bolts, is typically sold separately and should be replaced according to manufacturer specifications during engine assembly.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 2015-2018 Ford Edge, 2013-2020 Ford Fusion, or 2007-2012 Mazda CX-7, a solid set of rod bearings is crucial for long-term reliability. This set from King Engine Bearings is designed to handle the demands of performance applications, ensuring your engine's rotating assembly stays protected under load.

King specializes in bearings, and this set uses a tri-metal copper-based material for durability. The PMaxBlack overlay offers superior load capacity, which is important for keeping your engine running smoothly, especially if you've modified it. They also feature Radialock, a design that helps maintain optimal crush height during installation, ensuring a proper fit and function within the connecting rod and crankshaft journals. These bearings are a standard size (STD), meaning they are intended for use with an unworn or freshly machined crankshaft.

This set fits a range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mazda vehicles. Always refer to your vehicle's specific service manual for detailed installation procedures and torque specifications.
