Product Details

The King Engine Bearings CR4256XP.026 is a 0.026 oversized connecting rod bearing set engineered for the Dodge/Chrysler 148CI EDZ SRT-4 Turbo engine. Built for high-performance and race applications, this set features King's advanced XP Series tri-metal pMaxBlack™ construction — delivering exceptional load capacity and fatigue resistance under the extreme demands of forced-induction and competition use.

pMaxBlack™ Tri-Metal Technology:

  • Superior overlay hardness: The pMaxBlack™ overlay contains 5% copper and is further strengthened by a proprietary nano-scaled hardening process that modifies the molecular structure, resulting in a 29% increase in overlay hardness (18.1 HV) versus conventional overlays
  • Increased load capacity: Delivers a maximum load capacity of 10,200 psi — a 24% increase over standard tri-metal race bearings — making it ideal for high-boost, high-RPM applications
  • Fatigue-resistant black shield: The nano-scaled hardening process creates a distinctive black fatigue-resistant shield that protects against delamination and surface wear during metal-to-metal contact
  • SecureBond™ structural integrity: A micro-etch surface preparation process strengthens the bond between tri-metal layers, reducing the risk of catastrophic delamination under extreme load conditions
  • Copper-lead intermediate layer: Enhanced copper-lead intermediate layer with 4.5% tin content delivers a load-carrying capacity of 17,000 psi — 22% harder than conventional race bearing intermediate layers

XP Series Geometric Features:

  • Increased rod bearing height for improved bearing-to-bore contact, better heat transfer, and reduced spin potential at high RPM
  • Narrowed design to clear large-radius aftermarket crankshafts
  • Available with or without dowel holes to suit various rod configurations
  • Medium eccentricity profile for optimum load distribution and improved oiling

Specifications:

  • Part Number: CR4256XP.026
  • Undersize/Oversize: 0.026 in. oversized
  • Material: Tri-metal with pMaxBlack™ overlay
  • Application: Dodge/Chrysler 148CI EDZ SRT-4 Turbo (2003–2009)
  • Cross-Reference: Clevite CB-1668P, CB-1813A

King Engine Bearings has been manufacturing precision engine bearings since 1960, and their XP Series race bearings are trusted by professional engine builders across circle track, road racing, drag racing, and off-road competition. The CR4256XP.026 is the ideal choice for SRT-4 builds running high boost, forged internals, or demanding sustained race conditions.

So I left a review already about autoplicity and it was before I even checked when it was going to be delivered. I was happy to see it was already shipped but even more excited and pleased to see that it was only going to take two days to get here! Scheduled for delivery tomorrow! Could not be any happier with this company!

Best prices, Super fast shipping!

First time shopper, Great

Order confirmation was unclear. It did not provide the carrier or a tracking number that was recognized by USPS, UPS, of FedEx. Used contact form on website to request clarification, but received no reply. Order took a little longer than expected to ship,

Easy to use website, great communication, and product was exactly as described.

None

Thanks

Your website failed when I was originally ordered. I only want 4 spark plugs not five. I had to order twice. Please bill me for 4 spark plugs not 5. Order #284592. Thank you, James

it was quick and easy

Pretty good besides that had to call to confirm quantity of part.

Very fast shipping. Excellent item detail and description available before purchase. Best price on the net!

decent, i wish i could stack coupons

I was looking for some new lowering springs for my Integra and after looking around I found this place to be the best price around. It got here a week later which didn't seem to bad. Got the tracking info after 2days. Overall it was great shopping experience. They helped me and replied quick to the questions I had.

Amazing prices and amazing shipping speed! Best all around. Will be ordering more soon!
