What is PMaxBlack technology?

PMaxBlack is a technology developed by King Engine Bearings that enhances the load-carrying capabilities of the bearings. It's designed to handle higher pressures and stresses within the engine.

What does 'optimal crush height' mean for these bearings?

Optimal crush height refers to how much the bearing 'crushes' or deforms when installed. The Radialock feature on these bearings helps ensure this crush is precisely controlled, which is important for proper seating and oil pressure.

Are these bearings suitable for performance engines?

Yes, the PMaxBlack technology for superior load capacity and the tri-metal copper-based material make these bearings a strong option for performance builds and engines that experience higher stresses.
