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

The +0.50mm sizing indicates that these bearings are intended for use on crankshaft journals that have been machined down by 0.50mm. This is typically done to clean up wear or damage on the crankshaft surface before installing new bearings.

What is the pMax Black racing line?

The pMax Black racing line from King Engine Bearings features a tri-metal construction. This design is known for its strength and ability to conform to the crankshaft, making it suitable for high-performance and racing applications where increased loads are common.

Are these bearings a direct replacement for all Audi/VW engines?

These bearings are specifically designed for certain Audi and VW engine codes (AAB, AEU, APL, AAF, NG, RT, JS) and are sized +0.50mm. Always verify your specific engine code and crankshaft journal condition to ensure compatibility and proper fitment.

About this part

Product Details

King Engine Bearings is known for their performance engine bearings, and this Main Bearing Set is part of their pMax Black racing line. This set is specifically sized at +0.50mm, meaning it's intended for engines where the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.50mm to clean up wear or damage. These bearings are designed for demanding applications, offering improved durability and performance over standard bearings.

The pMax Black series uses a tri-metal construction, which is a popular choice for racing engines because it offers a good balance of strength and conformability. This means the bearings can handle higher loads and temperatures while still maintaining good oil film support. They are a solid option if you're rebuilding an Audi or VW engine like those found in models such as the Audi 100, Audi 90, or Volkswagen EuroVan, and need a bearing that can stand up to more aggressive use.

When installing bearings that are sized undersize, it's critical that the crankshaft journals are properly machined and measured to the correct specifications. Ensure you consult your vehicle's service manual for the exact machining requirements and assembly procedures.
