King Mitsubishi 4G63/4G64 Coated Connecting Rod Bearing Set of 4 - Size +.026mm - CR4120XPC.026 - KINGCR4120XPC.026

The King Engine Bearings CR4120XPC.026 Mitsubishi 4G63/4G64 Coated Connecting Rod Bearing Set is a high-performance, polymer-coated rod bearing set designed specifically for the legendary Mitsubishi 4G63 and 4G64 engines found in turbocharged DSM and Evo applications. This set of four bearings carries a +.026mm oversize designation, making it the correct choice when your crank journals have been machined and standard-size bearings are no longer appropriate. If you're building or rebuilding a performance 4G63 or 4G64, choosing the right connecting rod bearing set is one of the most critical decisions you'll make — and King Engine Bearings has long been a benchmark in this space.

Key Features & Benefits

• Polymer Coating Technology: The XPC designation indicates King's polymer-coated bearing surface. This coating reduces friction during initial startup — the phase when most bearing wear occurs — and provides an additional layer of protection during high-load, high-RPM operation typical of turbocharged 4G63/4G64 builds.
• Purpose-Built for Turbocharged DSM & Evo Engines: These bearings are engineered with the unique demands of forced-induction 4G63 and 4G64 applications in mind, making them a popular upgrade choice over standard OEM replacement bearings for enthusiasts building boost-fed engines.
• Oversize +.026mm for Machined Cranks: The +.026mm oversize specification means these bearings are intended for use after a crankshaft has been machined (ground) to correct worn or damaged rod journals. Using the correct oversize ensures proper oil clearance and prevents premature failure.
• Set of 4 — Complete Rod Bearing Coverage: The kit includes four bearings, covering all four connecting rod journals in the 4G63/4G64 four-cylinder engine, so you won't need to source individual shells separately.
• King's Racing Pedigree: King Engine Bearings is widely recognized in the engine building community for supplying bearings used in motorsport and high-performance street applications. Their 4G63 rod bearings are a go-to choice for DSM and Evo builders sourcing a complete king engine bearings rod bearing set.
• Broad Fitment Across Multiple Platforms: While famous in the Evo and DSM community, the 4G63/4G64 platform spans a surprising range of vehicles, and these bearings serve all of them — see the full fitment list below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why do I need a +.026mm oversize bearing instead of a standard-size bearing?
A: When a crankshaft's rod journals are worn or damaged, an engine machinist will grind them down to a smaller, uniform diameter and a perfectly round surface. Once machined, standard-size bearings will have too much oil clearance and won't seat properly. The +.026mm oversize bearing has a thicker wall to compensate for the removed material, restoring proper oil clearance. Always confirm the exact grind size with your machinist before ordering.

Q: What does the "XPC" in CR4120XPC.026 mean?
A: The XPC designation indicates that these bearings feature King Engine Bearings' polymer coating on the bearing surface. This coating is designed to reduce friction — especially during cold starts and initial break-in — and to provide additional protection under the high loads common in turbocharged 4G63 and 4G64 applications.

Q: Does this set cover all four connecting rods in my 4G63/4G64?
A: Yes. The 4G63 and 4G64 are four-cylinder engines, and this set includes four bearing shells, providing complete rod bearing coverage for the entire engine.

Q: How do I know this bearing fits my specific vehicle?
A: The fitment list above covers the confirmed vehicle applications for this part number. However, the oversize (+.026mm) specification is determined by your crankshaft's machined journal diameter — not just the vehicle. If you're unsure, reach out to our team at 813-535-5801 with your crank grind specs and we'll help you confirm the correct part before you order.
