What is the purpose of connecting rod bearings?

Connecting rod bearings sit between the crankshaft and the connecting rod. Their main job is to reduce friction and wear by providing a smooth, lubricated surface for the rotating crankshaft journal.

What does the '+0.25mm' size indicate?

The '+0.25mm' indicates that these bearings are slightly larger than standard size. This is typically used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down (ground) by 0.25mm to remove imperfections or wear, requiring a correspondingly larger bearing to maintain proper clearance.

What is the XP Series construction?

The XP Series from King Engine Bearings features a specialized overlay designed for enhanced durability and wear resistance. This construction helps to ensure consistent oil film thickness and protect against premature wear, especially under demanding engine conditions.
