What does the 0.026 inch undersize mean for my engine rebuild?

This means the bearings are slightly smaller than standard size. This is necessary if the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.026 inches during the rebuilding process to ensure proper clearance and oil film.

What is the overlay material King Engine Bearings uses?

King uses a proprietary overlay material designed for high-load applications. It's built to withstand the intense forces and heat generated in performance engines while offering good wear resistance.

Do I need to replace anything else when installing these bearings?

Yes, it is highly recommended to replace all connecting rod bearings and main bearings when rebuilding an engine. Ensure the crankshaft journals are clean, within tolerance, and properly lubricated during installation.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your BMW N62, N63, S63, or N62N, getting the connecting rod bearings right is crucial for long-term reliability. These bearings sit between the crankshaft and the connecting rod, handling immense forces and friction. King Engine Bearings are well-known for their robust construction and attention to detail, making them a solid choice for performance builds or restoring an engine to factory specifications.

This set is specifically sized at 0.026 inches undersize, which is important if your crankshaft journals have been machined down during a rebuild. King uses a unique overlay material that's designed to handle the high loads and temperatures found in performance BMW V8 engines. The material is also forgiving, helping to prevent premature wear even if oil flow isn't absolutely perfect. They are built to fit right and perform reliably.

When rebuilding an engine, it's always best practice to replace all the main and rod bearings at the same time. Make sure your crankshaft journals are clean and within the specified tolerance for these bearings before installation. Proper lubrication during assembly is also key to ensuring these bearings last.
