What does the .026 size mean for these bearings?

The .026 size indicates that these main bearings are manufactured to be 0.026 inches smaller than standard size. This means the crankshaft journal they will be installed on must also be machined to be 0.026 inches undersize to ensure proper clearance and oil film.

What is the pmax black construction?

The pmax black construction refers to King's tri-metal bearing material, specifically designed for racing applications. It offers enhanced load capacity and durability under high-temperature and high-stress conditions common in performance engines.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

While these bearings feature a racing line construction, they can be used in a stock engine rebuild if the crankshaft has been machined to the .026 undersize. For a standard rebuild without crankshaft machining, you would typically look for standard size bearings.
