What does the +0.25mm sizing mean for these bearings?

The +0.25mm sizing indicates that these bearings are designed for a crankshaft journal that has been machined down by 0.25mm (approximately 0.010 inches). This is common when rebuilding an engine to ensure proper clearances with worn or resurfaced journals.

What is the PMaxBlack overlay and Radialock design?

PMaxBlack is a tri-metal copper-based material that King uses for superior load capacity. Radialock is a design feature that helps the bearing maintain its proper crush height during installation, ensuring a secure fit and optimal oil clearance.

Do these bearings come with installation instructions?

While these bearings are designed for a direct fit on compatible engines, it is always recommended to refer to the manufacturer's specific installation instructions or a qualified mechanic for proper torque specifications and procedures.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your Audi or Volkswagen from the early 80s through the mid-2000s, these King Engine Bearings XP Series rod bearings are a solid option. They're designed for 1.6L, 1.8L, and 2.0L engines and are sized +0.25mm, meaning they're meant to be used on a crankshaft that has been machined down by that amount. King has been specializing in bearings since 1960, focusing on making them as robust as possible.

These bearings feature King's PMaxBlack overlay, which is a tri-metal copper-based material that offers superior load capacity compared to standard bearings. They also incorporate Radialock design, which helps maintain optimal crush height during installation, ensuring a good fit and proper oil clearance. This combination means they can handle more stress and maintain their position effectively within the engine.
