What does 'STD' mean for the bearing size?

STD refers to standard size. These bearings are meant to be installed on a crankshaft that has not been machined or ground undersize. If your crankshaft has been previously serviced and is undersize, you would need a different bearing size.

What is the PMaxBlack technology?

PMaxBlack is a proprietary technology developed by King Engine Bearings. It's designed to enhance the load capacity of the bearings, making them more robust for performance applications or demanding use.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

Yes, these bearings are a solid option for a stock engine rebuild, especially if you are looking for a well-built component. The PMaxBlack technology and tri-metal construction offer improved durability and load handling over basic bearings.
