King Engine Bearings Audi/VW 83-03 1.6L/1.8L/2.0L (Size +0.5) Performance Rod Bearing Set

The PMaxBlack material in this King Engine Bearings XP Series rod bearing set is designed for superior load capacity, making it a solid choice when you're rebuilding an Audi or VW engine from 1983 to 2003. These bearings are built with a tri-metal copper-based material, a common and effective choice for engine bearings that balances strength and performance. The Radialock feature helps ensure optimal crush height, which is crucial for proper bearing seating and oil clearance.

This set is specifically sized at +0.5mm, meaning it's intended for crankshaft journals that have been machined down by 0.5mm. This is a common practice during engine overhauls to ensure a fresh, perfectly round surface for the new bearings to run on. King has been specializing in bearings since 1960, focusing on supplying well-built components for a wide range of applications, including many popular Audi and Volkswagen models.

This set fits a broad range of Audi and Volkswagen vehicles, from older models like the Audi 4000 and VW Rabbit Convertible to newer ones like the Audi A4 Quattro and Volkswagen Golf. If you're working on a 1.6L, 1.8L, or 2.0L engine from these years, these bearings are a reliable option to consider for your rebuild.
