Bennett Racing are proud to announce our latest team sponsor KING ENGINE BEARINGS 

King Engine Bearings were founded in 1960, they are a world-class developer and manufacturer of engine bearings, more importantly their only product are engine bearings.... As a result of its specialization and focus, the company is recognized for producing the highest quality engine bearings available in the market

The King line includes OEM replacement rod, main, cam bearings, and thrust washers and its special range of high performance bearings. Through the years, King has developed and maintained a philosophy of constant improvement, from bearing design and engineering to customer service.

What makes King Engine Bearings track tough and street smart?

Our HP and XP lines are specifically engineered to withstand the highest loads and RPMs generated by today’s top competition engines. All King Performance Engine Bearings feature:

  * “Bull’s Eye Tolerance”. King engine bearings have the closest wall tolerances in the industry, with all shells matched to 0.0001".
  * Increased Height. Greater rod bearing height improves bearing-to-bore contact/heat transfer and reduces spin potential at high RPM.
  * Improved Oiling. Mains feature enlarged, chamfered oil holes.
  * Medium Eccentricity. This enables optimum load distribution and improved oiling.
  * Dowel Holes. Most rod bearings are available with or without dowel holes.
  * Narrowed Design. Mains and rods are narrowed for large-radius crankshafts.

KING ENGINE BEARINGS will also provide Bennett Racing with full R&D assistance to increase both their and our knowledge of bearing use and load in a supercharged methanol burning engine.

We look forward to a long and successful partnership with KING ENGINE BEARINGS, you can find out more via their website www.kingbearings.com
