Product Description

The King Engine Bearings CR4542XPC.026 XPC Series Connecting Rod Bearing Set is engineered for Honda K-Series performance engines requiring an additional 0.026 mm of oil clearance. Built with King's pMaxBlack™ tri-metal bearing material and finished with a factory-applied pMaxKote™ ceramic nano-composite polymer coating, these bearings are designed to withstand the high cylinder pressures and sustained engine speeds common in racing and high-performance street applications.

The XPC Series combines exceptional load capacity with enhanced seizure resistance while maintaining the original bearing wall thickness. Featuring RadiaLock™, Eccentrix™, and Bull's Eye™ technologies, the CR4542XPC.026 provides precise bearing crush, stable hydrodynamic lubrication, and highly consistent oil clearances. This set includes four pairs of connecting rod bearings and is intended for professional engine builds where crankshaft dimensions and bearing clearances are carefully verified during assembly.
