What is the pMax Black coating on these bearings?

The pMax Black coating is King Engine Bearings' racing line. It's a performance coating designed to reduce friction and improve wear resistance, especially in high-load and high-temperature engine conditions.

What does 'predoweled' mean for these bearings?

Predoweled means the bearings have extra locating tabs. These tabs help them seat securely in the connecting rod, preventing them from spinning under stress and making installation easier.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

While these bearings feature a performance coating and are designed for aluminum rods, they are a standard size and can be used in a stock rebuild if you are using aluminum connecting rods. For a stock rebuild with factory steel rods, you would need a different bearing set.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the bottom end of your Honda B18C1 or B18C5 engine, getting the right connecting rod bearings is crucial for long-term health. These bearings from King Engine Bearings are specifically made for those 16-valve engines and come standard size, ready to go in.

What sets these apart is the pMax Black coating, which is King's racing line. This performance coating helps reduce friction and wear, especially under the higher loads and temperatures you might see in a performance build. They're also predoweled, meaning they have extra tabs to help them stay seated correctly in the connecting rod, which is a big help during installation and ensures they won't spin under stress.

When you're putting your engine back together, especially if it's a performance build, using well-made components like these bearings makes a real difference in how reliably it runs down the road.
