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. If your crankshaft has been ground, you would need bearings of a different size (e.g., .010" or .020" undersize).

What is the PMaxBlack overlay?

PMaxBlack is a specialized overlay developed by King Engine Bearings. It's designed to provide superior load capacity, meaning these bearings can handle higher stress and pressure without failing, which is beneficial for performance applications.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

Rod bearings are typically sold in sets of eight, which is enough for a V8 engine. This set is intended to replace all the rod bearings on your 5.8L engine.
