What does the .026 size mean for these bearings?

The .026 size indicates that these bearings are undersized by 0.026 inches. This is important when your engine's crankshaft journals have been machined down to a smaller diameter during an overhaul or repair.

What is PMaxBlack technology?

PMaxBlack is a technology developed by King Engine Bearings that enhances the bearing's ability to withstand higher loads. This helps ensure durability and consistent performance, especially in demanding engine applications.

Do these bearings come with installation instructions?

While this set includes the bearings themselves, it's recommended to refer to the manufacturer's official installation guidelines or a service manual for proper installation procedures and torque specifications.
