King Engine Bearings BMW S63N/ N63/ S63/ N63N (Size 0.26) Connecting Rod Bearing Set

If you're rebuilding the engine in your BMW S63N, N63, S63, or N63N, getting the connecting rod bearings right is crucial for long-term reliability. These bearings sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft, handling immense forces and high RPMs. King Engine Bearings is a well-known name in this area, and their CR8050GPC.026 set is built to handle the demands of these powerful V8 engines.

This particular set is sized at 0.26, meaning it's designed for crankshaft journals that have been machined down by 0.001 inches. This undersize is common when a crankshaft needs to be reconditioned to clean up wear or minor damage. King uses a specialized overlay material called Alecular that offers improved strength and durability compared to standard bearings, helping to resist fatigue and maintain oil clearance under stress. The design also helps to reduce friction, which is important for keeping temperatures down in high-performance applications.

When you're putting an engine back together, especially one as complex as the BMW S63 family, using well-built components like these bearings is key. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully, paying close attention to oil clearances and torque specifications to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
