XP Rod Bearing Set

The KING BEARINGS XP Rod Bearing Set (part number CR 804XPN) is a precision connecting rod bearing kit engineered for small block Ford marine engines requiring standard-narrowed specifications. This bearing set delivers the critical load-carrying performance and durability marine powerplants demand, whether in a high-performance offshore boat or a freshwater fishing platform where engine reliability translates directly to time on the water.

XP-series bearings from KING are designed to handle the sustained RPM and thermal stress that modern marine engines generate. The narrowed profile specified in this kit accommodates small block Ford configurations where standard-width bearings would create clearance conflicts, making this bearing set the correct choice for modified or original equipment applications. At 0.8 lbs and compact dimensions (4.3 x 1.9 x 8.9 inches), the set fits easily within engine compartments while maintaining the dimensional precision necessary for proper fit and oil film formation under load. Proper bearing selection protects against catastrophic journal wear and maintains the lower-end integrity that upstream components depend on.

This bearing set serves weekend anglers running stock or lightly modified small block Ford marine engines, as well as serious boaters maintaining performance-tuned powerplants where factory-equivalent or OEM-spec components ensure long service life. Engine builders and marine mechanics rely on precision bearing sets to establish baseline engine health during rebuilds or restoration work. Selecting the correct bearing specification—in this case, XP standard-narrowed for small block Ford—prevents costly rework and ensures the engine performs as designed across the RPM range.

KING BEARINGS XP rod bearing sets are manufactured to strict tolerance standards, reflecting the brand's market position in performance and OEM-quality bearing production. Whether you're replacing worn bearings during routine maintenance or installing fresh components during an engine refresh, this kit provides the reliability that keeps marine engines running strong across thousands of operating hours.
