What is the main advantage of King's PMaxBlack technology?

PMaxBlack technology is designed to provide superior load capacity. This means the bearings can handle higher forces without failing, which is important for engine longevity, especially under performance conditions.

What does 'STD' size mean for these rod bearings?

STD stands for standard size. These bearings are meant to be installed on a crankshaft that has not been machined or ground undersize. If your crankshaft has been repaired or machined, you may need a different size bearing.

What is the benefit of the Radialock design?

The Radialock design helps to maintain the optimal crush height of the bearing. Proper crush height is essential for ensuring the bearing stays securely in place within the connecting rod housing.
