Product Description

The King MB5661XP race main bearing set is engineered for high-performance Audi and Volkswagen EA113 engines ranging from 1.6 L to 2.0 L across a broad array of models built between 1996 and 2017. Utilizing King's XP series technology, each bearing features a pMax Black tri-metal overlay that delivers 24% higher hardness and superior load capacity compared to conventional tri-metal bearings, optimized for forged crankshafts and high-RPM use.

These STD-size bearings are precision-machined to OEM specifications, ensuring proper clearance and full support for journals 1 through 5. They are ideal for race, drift, or aggressive street builds where durability under extreme conditions is critical. Please note these are designated for off-road or track use and are not emissions-legal for street cars in regulated areas.

Installation should be performed by a professional engine builder. Verify crankshaft journal size and torque main caps to factory specifications. With XP-grade metallurgy and pMax Black overlay, these mains provide long-lasting strength for high-load EA113 engine applications.
