What is PMaxBlack technology?

PMaxBlack is a technology developed by King Engine Bearings that enhances the load capacity of their bearings. This means they can withstand higher pressures and stresses, making them suitable for performance engine builds.

What does 'Radialock' do?

Radialock is a feature designed by King Engine Bearings to help achieve optimal crush height. Proper crush height is essential for the bearing to seat correctly and maintain consistent oil clearance within the engine.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

While these are performance bearings, they are built with durable materials and features like PMaxBlack and Radialock that can benefit any engine rebuild. They are a solid option for stock applications as well as performance builds, provided they are the correct size and type for your engine.
