Today’s sport compact race engines make more power than ever before. Yesterday’s engine bearings’ load capacity no longer works for today’s sport compact race engines. Tomorrow’s engines will be even more powerful.

King bearings meet these demands with higher performance benchmarks, advanced materials and unique geometrical features.
King Racing’s SV, GPC, XP, and XPC series of rod and main bearings were developed to meet these challenges through technologically advanced geometrical features and a unique metal structures. Together, they drive the industry to a higher level of durability, performance and expectation.

King’s new pMaxKote is a nano-composite polymer coating. It is applied over the pMaxBlack overlay at the King factory as part of the bearing manufacturing process. It enhances wear resistance without changing the bearing’s original precision wall thickness dimension.

King’s pMaxKote is a new approach to coated bearings. It has proven to protect bearings during metal-to-metal contact, as well as from the erosive effects of cavitation. It contains ceramic nano-composite particles that function as a fourth layer that provides superior build protection.

pMaxKote enhances the following benefits of King XP race bearings:

• Superior seizure resistance
• Superior cavitation resistance
• Superior wear resistance
• Superior protection against oil starvation

The intermediate layer of a typical race bearing contains 2-3% tin, with hardness values of 90-95 HV. For a superior pMaxBlack intermediate layer, we increased the tin content to 4.5%, making it 22% harder at 115 HV, with a load carrying capacity of 17,000 psi.

The overlay of a typical high performance bearing consists of a leaded alloy that contains 2-3% copper. It achieves a hardness level of 11 – 14 HV, and a maximum load capacity of 8,000-8,500 psi.

King’s pMax Black overlay is significantly stronger than conventional overlays due to its 5% copper content and an innovative nano-scaled hardening process.
