What is the purpose of the pMaxBlack coating on these bearings?

The pMaxBlack coating is designed to offer improved durability and reduced friction. It helps protect both the bearing surface and the crankshaft journal from wear, especially during engine break-in and under heavy use.

Why is the 0.25mm undersize important for these bearings?

The 0.25mm undersize indicates that these bearings are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.25mm. This ensures the correct oil clearance is maintained for proper lubrication and engine function.

What else might I need when installing these connecting rod bearings?

When installing connecting rod bearings, it's crucial to have the correct torque wrench for precise tightening of the connecting rod bolts. You will also need clean engine oil for assembly lubrication and potentially new connecting rod bolts, as they are often torque-to-yield and should be replaced.

About this part

Product Details

This is a set of King Engine Bearings pMaxBlack coated connecting rod bearings, sized 0.25mm undersize, specifically for Chrysler 345 and 370 cubic inch, 16-valve engines. These bearings are a critical component for the proper function and longevity of your engine's rotating assembly. They sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft, allowing the rod to spin freely while maintaining a thin film of oil for lubrication and support.

The pMaxBlack coating on these bearings is a notable feature, designed to offer improved durability and reduced friction, especially during the critical break-in period and under demanding operating conditions. This coating helps to protect the bearing surface and the crankshaft journal from wear. King Engine Bearings are known for their well-built construction, and this set is made to meet the specific demands of these Chrysler V8 engines, ensuring a solid option for engine rebuilds or repairs.

When rebuilding an engine, using bearings that are precisely sized and properly coated can make a significant difference in performance and how long the engine lasts. This set is 0.25mm undersize, which is important to note if your crankshaft has been machined to a specific undersize. Always refer to your engine's service manual for proper installation procedures and torque specifications.
