What does the +.026mm size mean for these bearings?

The +.026mm designation indicates that these bearings are slightly larger than standard size. This is used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down (ground) during an engine rebuild to remove wear or damage. These bearings will fit the journals that have been machined to that specific undersize.

What is the overlay material on these bearings?

King Engine Bearings uses a specialized overlay material on these bearings. This material is chosen for its improved durability and resistance to wear, which is important for maintaining proper engine lubrication and longevity, especially in rebuilt engines.

Do these bearings come with installation hardware?

This product is a set of connecting rod bearings only. Installation hardware, such as new bolts or nuts, is typically not included and should be sourced separately if required by your engine's service manual.

About this part

Product Details

This is a set of connecting rod bearings from King Engine Bearings, specifically for Opel 1.8L and 2.0L X18/20Xe engines. These bearings are sized at +.026mm, meaning they are a slight oversize to accommodate engines that have had their crankshaft journals ground down during a rebuild. Proper bearing clearance is crucial for oil flow and lubrication, which directly impacts engine longevity and performance.

King Engine Bearings are known for their well-built construction. This set uses a specialized overlay material that offers improved durability and wear resistance compared to standard bearings. The precise sizing ensures a proper fit on the crankshaft journals, which is essential for maintaining the correct oil film thickness. When rebuilding an engine, using bearings that meet or exceed OEM specifications is a smart choice for reliability.

This set is designed as a direct replacement for the factory connecting rod bearings. Ensure your crankshaft journals have been machined to the correct +.026mm undersize before installation. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific installation procedures and torque specifications.
