What does 'STD' size mean for these bearings?

STD stands for standard size. This means the bearings are designed to fit a crankshaft journal that has not been machined undersize or oversize. If your crankshaft has been ground, you would need a different size bearing.

What is PMaxBlack technology?

PMaxBlack is King Engine Bearings' proprietary overlay material. It's a specialized coating applied to the bearing surface that enhances its ability to withstand higher loads, making it suitable for performance applications.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a connecting rod bearing set, meaning it includes all the necessary bearings to replace the rods on one engine. You will receive multiple bearings in the package.

About this part

Product Details

These King Engine Bearings rod bearings use a PMaxBlack overlay, a specialized material that handles higher loads. They are designed for the Ford Pinto from 1971 to 1974, and also fit the Mercury Capri from the same years. If you're rebuilding the engine in one of these classic Fords, getting the right bearings for your connecting rods is crucial for engine health and longevity. These are a standard size, meaning they're meant to be used with a crankshaft that hasn't been machined undersize.

King specializes in engine bearings, and their PMaxBlack technology is a key feature here. It's a tri-metal copper-based material that offers improved load-carrying ability compared to standard bearings. The Radialock feature helps ensure optimal crush height, which is important for proper seating and oil control within the connecting rod housing. These bearings are well-built and aim to provide reliable performance for your engine build.
