What does the +0.50mm size mean for these bearings?

The +0.50mm designation means these bearings are slightly larger than standard size. This is typically used when the engine's crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.50mm to remove wear or damage. Using the correct size bearing is essential for proper oil clearance and engine function.

What is Silvercore technology?

Silvercore is a specialized layer used in King Engine Bearings' construction. It's designed to enhance the bearing's ability to withstand extreme loads and pressures, which is particularly important in high-performance or heavily used engines.

Are these bearings compatible with all VW AZV, CFAC, or AWX engines?

While these bearings are made for those specific engine codes, it's critical to verify the crankshaft journal size. These are a +0.50mm undersize bearing, so they are intended for engines where the crankshaft has been machined to that specific dimension.

About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Volkswagen's engine, especially for models like the Jetta, Golf, or Audi A3, getting the connecting rod bearings right is crucial. These King Engine Bearings are designed to handle the demands of engines like the AZV, CFAC, and AWX, and they come at a +0.50mm size, which is important if you're dealing with a crankshaft that's been machined to that specification.

King specializes in bearings, and this set uses a tri-metal copper-based material with a Silvercore layer. This construction is built for extreme load capacity, meaning it can take a lot of pressure without failing. They're also lead-free, which is a nice touch for environmental safety. For engines that see regular use, having bearings that can withstand the stress is key to a long-lasting rebuild.

This set is a solid option for many Volkswagen and Audi vehicles from the mid-2000s through the mid-2010s. Make sure to confirm your specific engine code and crankshaft size before ordering.
