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

The +0.50mm sizing indicates that these bearings are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.50mm. This is a common practice when rebuilding an engine to ensure a fresh, perfectly sized surface for the bearings.

What is the pMax Black racing line?

The pMax Black racing line from King Engine Bearings features a tri-metal construction. This design is optimized for higher load capacity and improved friction reduction, making it suitable for performance-oriented engine builds.

Are these bearings suitable for a daily driver or only for racing?

While the pMax Black line is designed for demanding applications, its improved durability and friction reduction can also benefit a daily driver, especially if the engine has higher mileage or is used in varied conditions. They offer a well-built upgrade over standard bearings.
