What does the +.025 size mean for these bearings?

The +.025 size indicates that these bearings are slightly larger than standard size. This is necessary when the crankshaft journals have been machined down (ground undersize) during a previous rebuild or repair to remove imperfections. You must match the bearing size to the machined size of your crankshaft journals.

What is the pMax Black trimetal material?

The pMax Black trimetal is a high-performance bearing material developed by King Engine Bearings. It's known for its exceptional strength and ability to withstand high loads and temperatures, making it suitable for racing and performance applications where standard bearings might fail.

Do these bearings come with installation instructions?

While these bearings are designed as a direct fit, it is critical to consult your vehicle's specific service manual for detailed installation procedures, including proper cleaning of journals and torque specifications for the connecting rod bolts. King Engine Bearings recommends professional installation.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Audi or Volkswagen engine from the mid-80s through the early 2000s, especially those with 1.6L, 1.8L, or 2.0L displacements, these King Engine Bearings are a solid choice. These are performance rod bearings, designed to handle more stress than stock, and they come in a +.025 inch undersize, which is crucial if your crankshaft journals have been ground down during a previous rebuild or repair.

King uses a pMax Black trimetal material for these bearings, which is a step up from their standard offerings and is often found in racing applications. This material is known for its strength and ability to maintain its structure under high loads and temperatures, helping to protect your crankshaft and connecting rods. They are a direct replacement for the factory bearings but offer improved durability for modified or high-performance engines.

When installing these bearings, it's important to ensure your crankshaft journals are clean and within the specified tolerance for the +.025 undersize. Always refer to your vehicle's specific service manual for proper installation procedures and torque specifications.
