What is the purpose of the pMax black coating on these bearings?

The pMax black coating is part of King's racing line and is designed to help manage friction and heat. This can be beneficial in high-performance or demanding engine applications.

What does the '.026' in the part number signify?

The '.026' indicates that these bearings are .026 inch undersize. This means they are intended for crankshaft journals that have been machined down by .026 inch, allowing for the restoration of proper oil clearance during an engine rebuild.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock K-Series engine?

While these are performance bearings, they can be used in a stock K-Series engine if the crankshaft journals have been machined to the correct undersize. For a standard rebuild without machining, you would typically look for standard size bearings.

About this part

Product Details

The pMaxKote XP racing line bearings from King are built with a tri-metal construction, offering a solid option for your Honda K-Series engine rebuild. These are specifically the rod bearings, which are crucial for handling the forces between the piston and the crankshaft. They are sized at .026 inch, meaning they are a slightly larger replacement for worn bearings, helping to restore proper oil clearance.

These bearings are designed for performance applications, featuring a special pMax black coating that helps manage friction and heat. This coating is a notable detail for anyone pushing their K-Series engine, whether it's in a performance street car or a dedicated track machine. They fit a wide range of Honda K-Series engines, excluding the A3 variant, covering displacements from 2.0L up to 2.4L. You'll find these commonly used in vehicles like the Acura RSX, TSX, Honda Accord, and Civic models from the mid-2000s to early 2010s.

When rebuilding or refreshing your K-Series engine, ensuring you have the right bearing clearance is key to longevity and performance. These King bearings offer a well-built solution for that need.
