What is the PMaxBlack coating for?

The PMaxBlack coating is a special surface treatment that significantly increases the load capacity of the bearing. This helps the bearing withstand higher pressures and stresses within the engine, especially in turbocharged applications.

What does the +.026mm sizing mean?

This indicates that the bearings are manufactured to be 0.026 millimeters larger than the standard size. This specific sizing is important for achieving the correct oil clearance between the crankshaft and the main bearing during an engine rebuild.

What other parts are typically needed when replacing main bearings?

When replacing main bearings, it's common practice to also inspect and potentially replace the crankshaft thrust bearing, connecting rod bearings, and engine oil. Always refer to the manufacturer's service manual for your specific vehicle for a complete list of recommended parts and procedures.
