What is the PMaxBlack overlay on these bearings?

The PMaxBlack overlay is a proprietary material developed by King Engine Bearings. It's designed to increase the load capacity of the bearing, making it more durable under stress.

What does '.026' mean for these main bearings?

The '.026' in the part number indicates that these main bearings are .026 inches undersize. This sizing is typically used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down to correct for wear or to achieve a specific clearance.

What is the benefit of the Radialock design?

The Radialock design helps to center the bearing within the housing during installation. This feature aids in achieving the correct crush height, which is crucial for proper oil retention and bearing stability.
