About this part

Product Details

These King Engine Bearings CR4604XPC.026 connecting rod bearings are built with a .026 inch undersize, meaning they are designed to be used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by .026 inches during an engine rebuild. This specific set is engineered for Ford 2.3L Duratec and Mazda L3-VDT MZR Turbo engines, common in performance applications where engine integrity is key.
