What does the +0.25mm sizing mean for these bearings?

The +0.25mm sizing indicates that these bearings are slightly larger than standard size. This is typically used during engine rebuilding to account for minor wear on the crankshaft journals or to achieve a specific, tighter oil clearance.

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

The sputter coating is an advanced surface treatment that helps to reduce friction between the bearing and the crankshaft. It also aids in oil retention, which is crucial for proper lubrication, especially during engine break-in and under demanding operating conditions.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is a connecting rod bearing set, meaning it includes all the necessary bearings for the connecting rods in the specified VW engines.

About this part

Product Details

King Engine Bearings is a well-known name in performance engine components, and this connecting rod bearing set is built to their standards. This set is specifically sized at +0.25mm, meaning it's designed to compensate for a slight increase in crankshaft journal diameter, often found during engine rebuilds or when dealing with worn components. These bearings feature a sputter coating, which is an advanced surface treatment that helps reduce friction and improve oil retention, especially during the critical initial break-in period and under high-load conditions.

This set is intended for VW engines with the AXD, BNZ, and BPE engine codes. The sputter coating is a notable feature that contributes to improved bearing life and performance by creating a more durable and efficient running surface. When rebuilding or refreshing an engine, using bearings that are correctly sized and treated can make a significant difference in the longevity and smooth operation of your powerplant.
