What is the purpose of the .001 undersize on these bearings?

The .001 inch undersize on these bearings is a specific measurement adjustment. It's used during engine rebuilding to help achieve the correct clearance between the crankshaft journal and the connecting rod bearing, which is critical for proper lubrication and engine health.

What does the PMaxBlack overlay do?

The PMaxBlack overlay is a specialized coating designed to significantly increase the bearing's ability to withstand higher loads. This helps prevent premature wear and damage in demanding engine applications.
