What does the .002in oversize mean for these bearings?

The .002 inch oversize specification indicates that these bearings are designed to fit crankshaft journals that have been machined down by 0.002 inches during the rebuilding process. This ensures a proper fit on slightly worn or reconditioned crankshafts.

What material are these rod bearings made from?

These bearings are constructed from a tri-metal material. This type of material is known for its strength and wear resistance, making it suitable for performance and rebuilt engine applications.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

Yes, these bearings are suitable for stock engine rebuilds, especially if the crankshaft has been machined to accept an oversize bearing. Their durable construction also makes them a solid option for mild performance builds.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your GM V6 L18 or L29 Vortec engine, getting the right rod bearings is crucial for long-term reliability. These performance rod bearings from King Engine Bearings are specifically made to handle the demands of a rebuilt or performance engine.

These bearings are built with a tri-metal material that offers excellent strength and wear resistance, which is important for maintaining proper oil clearance. The .002 inch oversize specification means they are designed to be used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down slightly during the rebuilding process. This ensures a snug, yet correct, fit to maintain oil pressure and reduce friction. King Engine Bearings is a well-known name in performance engine components, and these bearings reflect their focus on durability and performance.

When installing these bearings, always ensure your crankshaft journals are clean and within the specified machining tolerances. It's also important to use the correct assembly lube to protect the bearing surfaces during initial startup.
