King Engine Bearings CR4695XPC STDX XPC Series Coated Connecting Rod Bearing Set Ford EcoBoost 2.0L/2.3L

The King Engine Bearings CR4695XPC STDX is a premium XPC Series coated connecting rod bearing set engineered for the Ford EcoBoost 2.0L and 2.3L engine platform. Designed to handle the extreme demands of high-performance and racing applications, this set delivers superior durability and protection over standard OEM-style bearings.

The XPC designation represents King's highest level of race bearing technology, combining two advanced proprietary systems in a single bearing. The pMaxBlack™ tri-metal overlay delivers a load carrying capacity of up to 17,000 psi — achieved by increasing tin content to 4.5% in the intermediate layer, making it 22% harder than conventional race bearing intermediate layers. On top of that, the pMaxKote™ ceramic nano-composite polymer coating is factory-applied as a fourth functional layer, enhancing wear and seizure resistance as well as protection against oil starvation and cavitation. Critically, pMaxKote™ adds no additional thickness, preserving the bearing's original precision wall thickness dimensions.

The STDX size features a slightly thinner shell than standard, providing approximately .001" (0.025mm) of additional total oil clearance — ideal for builders who need tighter control over clearance specifications without custom grinding.
