Product Description

King Engine Bearings CR4542XPDCSTDX performance connecting rod bearings are engineered for Honda and Acura vehicles powered by K-Series 2.0L-2.4L DOHC engines (excluding A3 variants). This STDX version features King's XP-Series premium tri-metal construction with pMax Black and pMaxKote™ polymer coatings to enhance wear and seizure resistance under high loads without altering precision wall thickness. The inclusion of dowel holes and increased crush height improves stability, heat transfer, and reduces bearing spin - especially valuable in high-RPM or performance applications.

These bearings are standard thickness (STDX) and suitable for engine rebuilds, performance upgrades, and high-stress conditions. Fitment covers a broad range of 2002-2015 Honda and Acura models including RSX, TSX, RDX, ILX, Civic Si, CR-V, and Element vehicles with compatible K-Series engines. Whether for upgraded street builds or track duty, these rod bearings are designed to deliver consistent, reliable performance while helping maintain proper oil film and durability.
