King Engine Bearings Volvo D42/Audi/Volksw. (Size +0.50mm) Connecting Rod Bearing Set

These King Engine Bearings connecting rod bearings are built to a +0.50mm oversize, meaning they are designed to be used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.50mm during an engine rebuild. This allows for a proper bearing clearance when the original bearing surface is no longer within factory specifications. King uses a specialized overlay material that is bonded to a steel backing, offering a strong and durable bearing surface that can handle the stresses of engine operation. They are a well-built option for anyone rebuilding a Volvo D42 or certain Audi and Volkswagen engines.

When you're rebuilding an engine, getting the bearing clearances just right is critical for oil pressure and engine longevity. These bearings are manufactured with precision to ensure they meet the required specifications for the engines they are designed for. The +0.50mm sizing is important to note, as it indicates these are not a standard fit and require specific machine work on the crankshaft. Always refer to your engine's service manual for proper installation procedures and torque specifications.
