What does the +0.25mm sizing mean for these bearings?

The +0.25mm sizing indicates that these bearings are intended for use when the connecting rod journals on your engine's crankshaft have been machined down by 0.25mm. This is a common practice during engine rebuilding to clean up worn or damaged journals.

What is the 'Sputter Replacement' designation?

Sputter Replacement bearings, like these from King, utilize an advanced overlay material applied through a sputtering process. This method creates a very thin, yet extremely durable and load-resistant surface layer, ideal for demanding engine conditions.

Are these bearings environmentally safe?

Yes, these bearings are designed to be lead-free, making them an environmentally safer option compared to older bearing materials that contained lead.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Mercedes-Benz OM642 engine, especially if you're dealing with wear or preparing for higher performance, a solid set of connecting rod bearings is crucial. These King Engine Bearings are designed to handle the demands of engines like those found in many Freightliner and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, as well as various E-Class, GL-Class, ML-Class, and R-Class models. They are a direct replacement for your original bearings, but with construction aimed at improved durability under load.

King specializes in bearings, and this set uses a tri-metal copper-based material with a lead-free composite overlay. This construction is known for its ability to withstand extreme loads, which is important for connecting rod bearings that experience significant stress with every rotation. The +0.25mm sizing means these are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by that amount to clean them up after wear or damage. This ensures a proper, snug fit on the prepared crankshaft.

This set is a well-built option for your OM642 engine rebuild. Make sure to consult your service manual for the correct installation procedures and torque specifications when fitting these bearings to your connecting rods and crankshaft.
