What does '0.05mm undersize' mean for these bearings?

This means the inner diameter of the bearing is 0.05mm smaller than a standard, or 'full size', bearing. This size is used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.05mm to ensure proper oil clearance and fit.

What is the SP / SV series designation?

The SP/SV series from King Engine Bearings indicates a specific construction featuring a unique overlay material and a high-performance polymer-based material, designed for improved oil flow and friction reduction.

Are these bearings suitable for a performance build?

While these are OE replacement bearings, their advanced material construction offers improved oil flow and friction reduction, which can be beneficial in many engine builds, including those with mild performance enhancements.

About this part

Product Details

This is a set of connecting rod bearings from King Engine Bearings, specifically designed for Audi CEPA and CEPB engines. These bearings are a direct OE replacement, meaning they are built to the original equipment specifications for your engine. They are sized 0.05mm undersize, which is important if you're rebuilding an engine where the crankshaft journals have been machined down to match this size.

King Engine Bearings uses a unique overlay material and a high-performance polymer-based material for their SP/SV series bearings. This construction helps to improve oil flow and reduce friction, which is crucial for the longevity of your engine, especially during the critical break-in period of a rebuild. The 0.05mm undersize is a common machining size for crankshafts that have been reground due to wear or damage, ensuring a proper fit and oil clearance.

When you're rebuilding an Audi CEPA or CEPB engine, getting the bearing clearances right is key to a healthy, long-lasting powerplant. This set from King Engine Bearings offers a well-built solution that meets OE standards while incorporating advanced materials for improved performance and durability.
