What does the .026 size mean for these bearings?

The .026 size indicates that these bearings are undersized by 0.026 inches. This is typically used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down to compensate for wear or damage during an engine rebuild.

What is PMaxBlack technology?

PMaxBlack is a technology developed by King Engine Bearings that enhances the load capacity of their bearings. This means they are built to withstand higher pressures and stresses within the engine.

What is the 'crush height' mentioned for these bearings?

Crush height refers to the amount the bearing shell extends beyond the parting line when installed. The Radialock feature in these bearings helps achieve the correct crush height, ensuring a tight fit and proper oil clearance.

About this part

Product Details

King Engine Bearings has been specializing in engine bearings since 1960, aiming to provide the highest quality available. For your Ford or Mazda Duratec 2.0L 16V engine, these connecting rod bearings are a well-built option designed to meet that objective. This set is specifically sized at .026 inches undersize, which is important if you're rebuilding or reconditioning your engine and need to account for crankshaft journal wear.

These bearings utilize King's PMaxBlack technology, which helps them handle superior load capacity. They also feature Radialock, a design element that helps achieve optimal crush height, ensuring a snug and secure fit within the connecting rod. The tri-metal copper-based material is chosen for its durability and performance under the stresses of engine operation.

This set includes four bearings, enough for one engine. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper torque specifications and assembly procedures when installing these bearings.
