What is the pmax black material?

The pmax black material is a tri-metal compound developed by King Engine Bearings. It's designed for racing applications, offering improved strength and durability to withstand higher loads and temperatures compared to standard bearings.

Are these bearings a direct replacement for stock?

Yes, these are standard size (STD) connecting rod bearings designed to fit directly into the specified Peugeot XW7, TU1, TU3A, and TU5JP4 engines as a replacement for the original bearings.

What else might I need when installing these rod bearings?

When rebuilding an engine, it's essential to ensure your crankshaft journals are clean and measured for straightness and roundness. You'll also need assembly lube to coat the bearings before installation, and a torque wrench to tighten the connecting rod caps to the manufacturer's specifications.
