King Engine Bearings CR1712XPSTD-2 XP Series Standard Size Connecting Rod Bearing Set

The King Engine Bearings CR1712XPSTD-2 is a standard size connecting rod bearing set from King's eXtra Performance (XP) series, engineered for high-performance and demanding engine applications. Designed as a direct OEM replacement and performance upgrade, these bearings deliver exceptional durability and load capacity in stock displacement and built engines alike.

King's XP Series bearings feature a proprietary tri-metal construction with a copper-lead or aluminum-based overlay, providing superior conformability, embedability, and resistance to fatigue — critical properties in high-stress rod bearing applications. The precision-machined shells are manufactured to tight tolerances for consistent oil film thickness and optimal load distribution across the journal surface.

• XP Series (eXtra Performance) tri-metal bearing construction for enhanced fatigue resistance
• Standard size (STD) — designed for use with unmodified (standard dimension) crankshaft rod journals
• Precision tolerances for consistent oil clearance and film thickness
• High-strength steel backing for dimensional stability under load
• Superior corrosion resistance and embedability to handle minor contaminants
• Includes upper and lower bearing shell pair (2-piece set)
• Suitable for performance street, track, and competition engine builds
