What does the '0.05' size designation mean for these bearings?

The '0.05' in CR4604XPC0.5 indicates that these bearings are 0.05mm undersize. This means they are intended for use on a crankshaft that has been machined down by 0.05mm during an engine rebuild to achieve the correct oil clearance and fit.

What is the pMaxLote technology?

pMaxLote refers to King Engine Bearings' specialized overlay material. This advanced material is designed to provide enhanced durability and performance, particularly in high-stress engine applications.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

These bearings are a well-built option for both stock and performance-oriented rebuilds of the specified Ford and Mazda engines. The 0.05mm undersize means they are best suited for engines where the crankshaft has been machined to this specific dimension.
