What does the +.026mm sizing mean for these rod bearings?

The +.026mm sizing indicates that these bearings are slightly larger than the standard size. This is often used to achieve proper oil clearance in engines that have had their crankshaft journals machined undersize, or for specific performance build requirements.

What is the PMaxBlack overlay and Radialock technology?

PMaxBlack is King Engine Bearings' overlay material that offers superior load capacity, helping the bearings withstand higher stresses. Radialock is a design feature that helps maintain the correct crush height of the bearing during installation, which is critical for proper fit and function.

What is the material composition of these bearings?

These are tri-metal bearings, meaning they are constructed with three layers. The core is typically steel, with intermediate layers of copper-lead alloy, and a final overlay of a softer material like babbitt for the bearing surface.
