What does 'sputter' mean for these bearings?

Sputter bearings have a special surface treatment applied that helps to improve oil film retention. This can lead to reduced friction and better protection for the bearing surface under load.

Why do I need oversize bearings?

Oversize bearings, like these 0.50mm ones, are used when the engine's crankshaft journals have been machined down to remove wear or damage. The oversize bearing compensates for the material removed, restoring the correct oil clearance.

What vehicles use the AXD, BNZ, or BPE engine codes?

These engine codes are commonly found in various Volkswagen models. It's always best to verify your specific vehicle's engine code to ensure compatibility.

About this part

Product Details

King Engine Bearings is well-known for making solid engine components, and this connecting rod bearing set is a good example of their work. If you're rebuilding the bottom end of a VW engine with an AXD, BNZ, or BPE code, these bearings are designed to fit right in.

This set features sputter bearings, which are a type of bearing surface treatment that helps improve oil film retention and reduce friction. They are also sized at 0.50mm oversize, meaning they are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.50mm to clean up wear or damage. Using the correct oversize bearing is crucial for maintaining proper oil clearance and ensuring the longevity of your engine rebuild.
