Product Details

King Engine Bearings is known for making solid engine components, and this connecting rod bearing set is a good example of their work. If you're rebuilding the engine in a range of classic Volkswagen models like the Beetle, Transporter, or Super Beetle, these bearings are designed to handle the job. They are made from a bimetal construction with an aluminum base, which is a common and reliable material for engine bearings.

This set is sized at +0.75mm, meaning it's intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.75mm. This is a standard practice when rebuilding an engine to ensure a fresh, smooth surface for the bearings to run on. King designs these to fit right into the connecting rods, making them a straightforward replacement part for your engine build.
