What does the .026 size mean for these bearings?

The .026 size indicates that these bearings are undersized by 0.026 inches. This means they are intended for use with a crankshaft that has been machined down to this specific dimension during an engine rebuild.

What is the benefit of the performance coating on these bearings?

The performance coating helps to reduce friction between the bearing and the crankshaft journal. This can lead to less wear and improved durability, especially in engines that experience higher loads or more aggressive driving conditions.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock VR6 engine?

While these bearings are well-built, their performance coating and undersize nature suggest they are best suited for engines that have undergone some level of modification or rebuild, particularly where the crankshaft has been machined. For a completely stock, un-machined crankshaft, you would typically need standard size bearings.

About this part

Product Details

King Engine Bearings is well-known for making solid engine components, and this performance coated rod bearing set is a great example of their work for Volkswagen VR6 2.8L engines. If you're rebuilding the top end of your VR6, these bearings are designed to handle the stresses of performance use. They are a .026 inch undersize set, meaning they are meant for crankshafts that have been machined down to that specific size during an engine rebuild.

These bearings feature King's performance coating, which helps to reduce friction and wear, especially under high load conditions. This coating is a notable improvement for engines that see more than just daily driving. The construction is well-built, offering a strong option for enthusiasts looking to ensure the longevity and reliability of their VR6 engine build. They fit right into the connecting rods, making them a direct replacement for the stock bearings once the crankshaft is prepped.
