What does the STDX size mean for these bearings?

The STDX size indicates that these bearings are 0.0005 inches larger than a standard size bearing. This is often used to achieve the correct oil clearance when a crankshaft has been ground undersize during a rebuild.

What is the King XP performance overlay?

The XP overlay is a multi-layer material developed by King Engine Bearings. It's designed to handle higher loads and temperatures, offering improved wear resistance and better lubricant retention under demanding conditions.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock BMW S62 engine?

While these bearings are designed for performance, the STDX size is specifically useful if your S62 engine's crankshaft has been ground undersize. For a stock rebuild with a standard-sized crankshaft, you would typically look for standard size bearings.

Product Details

The STDX size designation on these King Engine Bearings for the BMW S62 engine means they are 0.0005 inches larger than standard. This slight increase in size is often used to help restore proper oil clearance in engines that have seen significant use or have been rebuilt with a crankshaft that has been ground undersize. These bearings are built with King's XP performance overlay, which is a multi-layer material designed to handle higher loads and temperatures, making them a solid option for performance builds or demanding applications where reliability is key.

King Engine Bearings are well-known in the performance and racing world for their robust construction and attention to detail. The XP overlay is a key feature here, offering improved wear resistance and a better ability to retain lubricant under stress compared to standard bearings. When you're rebuilding the bottom end of an S62, getting the bearing clearances just right is critical for engine longevity and performance. These bearings offer a way to achieve those precise clearances, especially if your crankshaft needs a little extra help.
