King Engine Bearings CR6895XP.026 XP-Series Rod Bearing Set 0.26mm Oversize Ford EcoBoost 3.5L V6

The King Engine Bearings CR6895XP.026 is a high-performance connecting rod bearing set engineered specifically for Ford EcoBoost 3.5L V6 engines requiring 0.26mm oversize bearings. Part of King's renowned XP Series, these race-grade bearings feature advanced pMaxBlack tri-metal technology designed to withstand the extreme loads and temperatures generated by turbocharged performance applications.

Advanced pMaxBlack Tri-Metal Construction:

• Proprietary nano-scaled hardening process that modifies the overlay molecular structure to create a fatigue-resistant shield
• Enhanced overlay with 5% copper content providing 10,200 PSI load capacity—24% stronger than conventional race bearings
• Hardened intermediate layer with 4.5% tin content achieving 17,000 PSI load capacity—22% harder than standard race bearings
• SecureBond micro-etch surface preparation strengthens tri-metal structural integrity and prevents delamination under extreme loads
• Superior fatigue strength (18.1 HV hardness) compared to conventional overlays (11-14 HV)

Performance Features:

• Narrowed profile on crank cheek side for improved clearance with large-fillet crankshafts
• Increased crush height for enhanced bearing-to-bore contact and heat transfer
• Reduced spin potential in high-RPM applications
• Bull's Eye Tolerance: industry-leading wall thickness consistency of +/- 0.0001 inch
• Developed for forged steel aftermarket crankshafts producing high loads for extended periods

King Engine Bearings specializes exclusively in bearing manufacturing, focusing their 60+ years of expertise on developing advanced metallurgical and geometric technologies. The XP Series with pMaxBlack overlay represents the pinnacle of tri-metal bearing technology for serious racing and high-performance street applications where maximum durability and load capacity are essential.
