What material is used for these King Engine Bearings?

These bearings are constructed with a tri-metal copper-based material. They also feature an enhanced Tri-M+ babbitt overlay, which is designed to improve embeddability and conformability.

Are these bearings suitable for high-performance or racing engines?

This particular bearing set is ideal for medium-load engines. While King Engine Bearings offers a range of products, the CR873CP is best suited for applications that are not subjected to extreme racing conditions.

What is the purpose of the babbitt overlay?

The enhanced babbitt overlay helps to protect the crankshaft journals during operation. It improves the bearing's ability to conform to the journal surface and embed small debris, reducing wear.
