King Racing Bearings
Where to buy King Racing in Australia: Chicane Australia sells King Racing engine bearings online, sold as separate connecting rod and main bearing sets for the Subaru EJ20, EJ22 and EJ25 (turbo engines included), each in standard or pMaxKote coated form, plus a coated rod bearing set for the Volkswagen VR6 2.8L. Each set is listed by engine and bearing size code, such as STDX on the VR6 set. Most sets ship in 3 to 5 days, and we ship Australia-wide from the NSW Central Coast. King specialises in engine bearings, and these sets are aimed at engine builders measuring and assembling a fresh bottom end.

See also Engine Internals for Subaru EJ20 / EJ25. Always match the set to your engine code rather than the model name.
Choosing the Right Part
- Engine code: match the set to your engine. The Subaru sets suit EJ20, EJ22 and EJ25 engines, including turbo variants. The VR6 set suits the Volkswagen VR6 2.8L.
- Rod or main: connecting rod bearings and main bearings are sold as separate sets. A full bottom-end build typically needs both.
- Standard or coated: coated sets feature King's pMaxKote factory-applied solid film lubricant, which adds protection against metal-to-metal contact during cold starts and high-heat cycles.
- Size and clearance: check the size code shown in the product title (for example, STDX) against your crankshaft journal measurements and target oil clearance before ordering.
Installation & What You'll Need
Engine bearings are internal components that are usually installed during an engine rebuild. Crankshaft journals and housing bores should be measured so the correct bearing size and oil clearance can be confirmed. Installation by a professional is recommended.
