Product Details

These King Engine Bearings connecting rod bearings are built with a pmax black tri-metal material, a design choice often found in racing applications. This material is known for its enhanced load-carrying capabilities, making it a solid option for your Jaguar's 4.2L engine. They are specifically sized at +.010 inches, meaning they are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by that amount during an engine rebuild.

This set is designed for a direct fit in several Jaguar models, including the XK150, XK140, XJ6, and XKE. If you're rebuilding the engine in your classic Jaguar, these bearings offer a well-built component to help ensure proper oil clearance and smooth operation of your connecting rods. The pmax black construction is an updated formulation aimed at improving durability and performance under demanding conditions.

When installing these bearings, remember they are a critical component for engine longevity. Always ensure the crankshaft journals are clean and within the specified machining tolerance before installation. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for detailed installation procedures and torque specifications.
