King Engine Bearings Chrysler 345/ 370 16V (Size STDX) Connecting Rod Bearing Set

If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Chrysler 345 or 370 V8 engine, getting the connecting rod bearings right is crucial for long-term reliability. These King Engine Bearings are designed to handle the demands of these engines, ensuring proper oil clearance and smooth operation.

King uses a unique tri-metal material for their XP series bearings, which offers improved strength and embeddability compared to standard bearings. This means they can better tolerate minor imperfections in the crankshaft journal and maintain their performance over time. The STDX size indicates these bearings are 0.001 inch undersize, which is important to note if you're working with a crankshaft that has been machined to a specific undersize. Proper installation, including cleaning and ensuring correct oil pressure, is key to getting the most out of these well-built bearings.

When you're putting an engine back together, using reliable components like these King bearings can make a significant difference in how smoothly it runs and how long it lasts. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific installation procedures and torque specifications.
