King Engine Bearings CR4633XP XP-Series Rod Bearing Set for 2007-2016 Peugeot

Engine / Vehicle Fitment

• 1.6 L inline-4 engines: Peugeot EP6DT / EP6 and BMW N14B16C / N14 family
• Typical compatible vehicles and model-year ranges:
• Peugeot 207, 208, 308, 2008, 3008 - roughly 2007-2016
• Citroen models using EP6-series 1.6L (varies by region) - late 2000s through mid-2010s
• Mini Cooper / Mini Countryman / Mini Paceman (1.6 L) - 2007-2016
• Other BMW/Mini-platform vehicles using N14 1.6L engine during same period

Features

• XP-Series tri-metal rod bearings with hardened pMaxBlack™ overlay - designed for high-load, high-RPM, or forced-induction engines
• pMaxBlack overlay enhances load capacity and wear resistance for racing or boosted applications
• "Bull's Eye" shell-to-shell tolerance (±0.0001") - ensures consistent oil clearance and balanced lubrication across all rods
• Optimized bearing geometry: narrowed on crank-cheek side, increased crush height for improved bearing-to-bore contact and heat transfer
• Designed for standard journal and housing dimensions (STD/STDX) - no undersize crank or block machining required when using stock 1.6 L engines
• Compatible with steel crankshafts - suitable for performance builds, turbo conversions, track or street applications
• Full 4-cylinder set (4 pairs / 8 shells) - ready for a complete rod-bearing replacement or engine build

Specifications

• Bearing type: Connecting-rod bearing set for 4-cylinder inline-4 (1.6 L EP6 / N14)

• Journal diameter (standard): ~44.97 mm
• Housing bore diameter (standard): ~48.02 mm
• Bearing shell thickness: ~1.495 mm
• Set quantity: 4 pairs (8 shells total)
• Sizes available: STD, STDX, +0.25 mm, +0.5 mm, and other undersize/oversize variants for bore/crank modifications

Product Description

The King CR4633XP rod bearing set is a top-tier, performance-oriented bearing kit engineered for 1.6 L 4-cylinder engines based on Peugeot EP6 and BMW N14 architecture - widely used in undemanding stock engines as well as high-output, modified builds. With its pMaxBlack™ hardened overlay and precision tri-metal construction, the CR4633XP offers substantial increase in load-handling capability and fatigue resistance compared to standard bearings, making it ideal for turbocharged, high-rpm, or racing applications. Its optimized geometry ensures stable hydrodynamic oil film, excellent heat transfer, and minimal bearing spin risk under stress - critical for long-term reliability.

Because this set is built for standard journal and housing dimensions, it fits directly on stock 1.6 L EP6/N14 engines - no custom machining required if the crank and block are within OEM spec. The ultra-tight shell tolerances eliminate the need for "bearing-fishing" for correct clearance, simplifying engine builds and rebuilds. With four pairs included, the set is ready for a complete bottom-end rebuild. Whether you're restoring a stock engine, building a turbo daily driver, or assembling a track-ready 1.6 L performance engine - CR4633XP delivers the strength, precision, and reliability needed for high-stress situations.
