What is the XP performance overlay?

The XP performance overlay is a multi-layer material developed by King Engine Bearings. It's designed to offer improved durability and a higher load-carrying capacity, making it suitable for performance applications.

What does '0.25mm undersize' mean for these bearings?

This means the bearings are designed to fit a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.25mm. This is a common practice during engine rebuilds to ensure proper oil clearance with the connecting rods.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock VR6 engine?

While these are performance bearings, they can be used in a stock VR6 engine rebuild. The XP overlay offers enhanced durability that can benefit even a standard engine, especially if it sees spirited driving.

About this part

Product Details

This is a performance rod bearing set from King Engine Bearings, specifically sized at 0.25mm undersize for Volkswagen VR6 2.8L engines. You'll receive the rod bearings needed to rebuild the connecting rods in your engine. These bearings are built with King's XP performance overlay, which is a multi-layer material designed for improved durability and load-carrying capacity compared to standard bearings.

King Engine Bearings are well-known in the performance and racing world for their robust construction. The XP overlay is a key feature here, offering a tougher surface that can handle the increased stresses found in performance applications. This set is precisely sized at 0.25mm undersize, meaning it's intended for crankshafts that have been machined down by that amount during an engine rebuild. Using the correct undersize bearing is critical for proper oil clearance and engine longevity.

When you're rebuilding a VR6 engine, especially one that will see harder use, choosing quality bearings is essential. These King bearings offer a well-built solution that balances performance needs with the reliability you expect from a critical engine component.
