The top of the line aftermarket option for connecting rod bearings. This is a tangless bearing and very simple to install. Bearing tangs do not serve any purpose other than helping install alignment. These connecting rod bearings will fit all of the following models:
- B7 RS4 4.2L
- R8 V8 4.2L
- B8 S5 4.2L
- B6/7 S4 4.2L
King’s new pMaxKote™ is a nano-composite polymer coating. It is applied over the pMaxBlack™ overlay at the King factory as part of the bearing manufacturing process. It enhances wear resistance without changing the bearing’s original precision wall thickness dimension.
King’s pMaxKote™ is a new approach to coated bearings. It has proven to protect bearings during metal-to-metal contact, as well as from the erosive effects of cavitation. It contains ceramic nano-composite particles that function as a fourth layer that provides superior build protection.
pMaxKote™ enhances the following benefits of King XP race bearings:
- Superior seizure resistance
- Superior cavitation resistance
- Superior wear resistance
- Superior protection against oil starvation
