What does the +0.50mm size mean for these bearings?

The +0.50mm indicates that these bearings are slightly larger than standard size. This is typically used when the engine's crankshaft journals have been machined down to correct wear or damage. They help restore the proper clearance for the connecting rod.

What is the pMax Black material?

The pMax Black is a tri-metal material used by King Engine Bearings. It's designed to offer improved load capacity and better heat management compared to standard bearings, making it suitable for more demanding engine builds.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

While these XP Series bearings offer improved performance, they are a step up from basic stock replacement bearings. They are an excellent choice for a stock rebuild where you want added durability, or for mild performance applications.

About this part

Product Details

King Engine Bearings is known for making well-built engine components, and this XP Series connecting rod bearing set is a solid option for your Honda F23A, F23Z, or K20A3 engine. These bearings are sized 0.50mm over, which is important if you're rebuilding an engine that has already been machined. They are a step up from standard bearings, using a tri-metal pMax Black material that's designed for more demanding applications than stock.

This set is built for performance, offering improved load capacity and durability compared to race bearings like their CR4541SX model. The tri-metal construction helps manage heat and reduce friction, which is crucial for keeping your engine running smoothly, especially if you're pushing it a bit harder than usual. They fit a range of popular Honda and Isuzu models, including the Acura CL, Honda Accord, and Honda Civic.
