What does '0.25' mean in the part number CR4600XP0.25?

The '0.25' in the part number indicates that these bearings are 0.001 inch (0.025mm) undersize. This is common when the crankshaft journals have been machined to a specific undersize during an engine rebuild.

What is the PMaxBlack overlay?

PMaxBlack is a proprietary overlay developed by King Engine Bearings. It's designed to provide enhanced load-carrying capabilities, helping the bearings withstand higher pressures and stresses within the engine.

Do I need any special tools to install these bearings?

Installing connecting rod bearings typically requires specialized tools such as a torque wrench, a bearing spreader, and potentially a micrometer to check clearances. Always refer to the manufacturer's service manual for the correct installation procedures and specifications.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 2002-2008 Mini Cooper, especially one with the W11B16 engine, getting the connecting rod bearings right is crucial. These bearings sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft, handling immense forces and friction as the engine runs. King Engine Bearings specializes in this exact component, and this set is built to handle the demands of your engine.

What sets these bearings apart is their construction. They use a tri-metal copper-based material, which is a solid foundation for durability. King also incorporates their PMaxBlack overlay, which is designed to handle higher loads without failing. Another key feature is Radialock, which helps ensure the optimal crush height, meaning the bearing stays securely in place within the connecting rod housing for consistent performance.

This set includes four pairs of bearings, enough for a complete engine rebuild on your Mini Cooper. King has been focused on making bearings since 1960, so they have a lot of experience in this specific area of engine building.
