What does the +0.50mm sizing mean for these rod bearings?

The +0.50mm sizing indicates that these bearings are intended for use with a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.50mm. This is often done during an engine rebuild to account for wear on the original crankshaft journals or to achieve specific bearing clearances.

What is PMaxBlack technology?

PMaxBlack is a technology developed by King Engine Bearings that enhances the load-carrying capacity of their bearings. It helps the bearings withstand higher pressures and stresses within the engine, making them suitable for performance applications.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

While these are high-performance bearings, they can be used in a stock engine rebuild if the crankshaft has been machined to the +0.50mm size. For a standard stock rebuild without machining, you would typically need a standard size bearing.
