King CR4287XPC XPC pMaxKote Rod Bearing Set Honda B18C1 B18C5 Acura Integra STD

Vehicle Fitment

• 1994-2001 Acura Integra GS-R (B18C1, 1.8L DOHC VTEC, FWD)
• 1997-2001 Acura Integra Type R (B18C5, 1.8L DOHC VTEC, FWD)
• 1994-2001 Honda Integra SiR / Type R JDM (B18C, B18C5, 1.8L DOHC VTEC, FWD)
• JDM Honda Accord / Inspire select variants (F18C, 1.8L DOHC VTEC, FWD) - verify engine code before ordering

Fitment Notes

• Fits Honda B18C1, B18C5, and F18C engines with 16-valve DOHC VTEC configuration only
• Standard (STD) size - fits stock crankshaft diameter with no machining required
• Plain bearing halves (no dowel pin) - for doweled aluminum rod applications, see CR4287XPDC
• Does not fit B18A1 or B18B1 non-VTEC engines - see CR 439XPC for those applications
• CR4287XPC supersedes the previous CR4287XP (non-coated) - the XPC is the current production version

Features

• pMaxKote nano-composite polymer coating applied as a factory fourth layer over pMax Black overlay - enhances wear and seizure resistance without adding bearing wall thickness
• pMax Black tri-metal overlay is 24% harder than conventional race bearings, built for high-revving VTEC applications pushing toward redline
• Superior cavitation resistance protects bearings during oil starvation events common in high-RPM track and circuit driving
• 15-30% greater load capacity than traditional tri-metal bearings via SecureBond adhesion between overlay and intermediate layers
• Wall thickness tolerance held to ±0.0001" for shell-to-shell consistency and minimal selective fitting during assembly
• Narrowed crank cheek profile eliminates fillet ride on high-radius aftermarket crankshafts
• Increased crush height improves bearing-to-bore contact and reduces spin potential at high RPM

Product Description

The King CR4287XPC is a standard-size XPC-series connecting rod bearing set engineered for Honda B18C1 and B18C5 DOHC VTEC engines, as found in the Acura Integra GS-R and Type R. The XPC designation means these bearings carry both King's pMax Black tri-metal overlay - 24% harder than conventional race bearings - and a factory-applied pMaxKote nano-composite polymer coating that adds a fourth protective layer. This polymer coating enhances wear resistance, seizure protection, and cavitation resistance without altering the bearing's precision wall thickness, making it especially well-suited for high-revving B18C builds that see sustained operation near the 8,000+ RPM redline.

The CR4287XPC is a direct upgrade over the previous CR4287XP for any B18C1 or B18C5 engine rebuild at standard crank diameter. With wall thickness controlled to ±0.0001" across every shell, these bearings deliver exceptional consistency that reduces selective fitting during assembly. The plain half design (no dowel pin) suits the majority of steel rod
