What does the 0.026 inch undersize mean for these bearings?

The 0.026 inch undersize indicates that these bearings are slightly smaller than standard size. This is used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.026 inches during an engine rebuild to remove wear or damage. It ensures the correct bearing clearance is maintained.

What is the typical construction of King Engine Bearings?

King Engine Bearings commonly use a tri-metal construction. This involves layers of different materials, typically a steel backing for strength, a bronze-aluminum alloy for load carrying, and a lead-tin-copper overlay for embeddability and wear resistance.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock Duramax engine rebuild?

Yes, these bearings are well-suited for Duramax engine rebuilds, especially those where the crankshaft has been machined to a 0.026 inch undersize. King Engine Bearings are known for their robust construction and are a popular choice for both stock and modified applications.

About this part

Product Details

This is a set of connecting rod bearings from King Engine Bearings, specifically made for General Motors Duramax diesel engines. These bearings are crucial for the proper function of your engine's rotating assembly, sitting between the connecting rod and the crankshaft to reduce friction and wear. This particular set is designed for Duramax engines including the LLY, LML, LMM, LGH, L5P, LBZ, and LB7 models, and it's sized 0.026 inches undersize, which is important if your crankshaft has been machined to a smaller diameter during an engine rebuild.

King Engine Bearings is known for making well-built internal engine components. These bearings feature a tri-metal construction, which is a popular choice for high-performance and heavy-duty applications like Duramax engines. This construction offers a good balance of strength, conformability to the crankshaft surface, and embeddability for debris. The specific 'GPC' designation in the part number often indicates a particular performance-oriented design or material composition from King, aimed at handling the significant loads these diesel engines produce.

When rebuilding or repairing your Duramax engine, using a quality connecting rod bearing set like this is essential for engine longevity. Ensure your crankshaft journals are properly measured and cleaned before installation, and always follow the manufacturer's recommended lubrication and torque specifications during assembly to get the best performance and durability from these bearings.
