King Engine Bearings Ford 281CI/302CI/330CI 4.6L/5.0L/5.4L V8 Rod Bearing Set - Size STD

A standard-size (STD) rod bearing set from King Engine Bearings for Ford's 281/302/330 CI V8 engines: covers the 4.6L, 5.0L, and 5.4L. It's sized for 2011-2017 F-150 Base trucks and the Mustang GT, GT500 (2011-2012), and Boss 302 (2012-2013) listed below. Rod bearings sit between each connecting rod and the crankshaft journal, carrying the load every time a piston fires.

Why Upgrade to This Bearing Set

• This set is sized STD, the standard bearing size listed in the title for these Ford V8 applications.
• One set covers the rod bearings across Ford's 281, 302, and 330 CI V8 family: the 4.6L, 5.0L, and 5.4L all share this same bearing spec.
• [VERIFY: bearing material, clearance spec, or coating claims, and whether Size STD assumes a stock, unmachined crank journal rather than one already turned undersize for a reground crank, not stated in the source copy.]

Fitment Notes

This set covers 2011-2017 Ford F-150 Base trucks and the Ford Mustang GT, GT500 (2011-2012), and Boss 302 (2012-2013), all built around the 281/302/330 CI (4.6L/5.0L/5.4L) V8 family. Does not fit the F-150 Raptor, or the Mustang EcoBoost, GT350, or V6.

Install and Honest Talk

A rod bearing set is not a part you bolt on with the engine together: fitting these means the oil pan and rod caps are already off. [VERIFY: whether Size STD assumes a stock, unmachined crank journal rather than one already turned undersize for a reground crank, plus torque spec, clearance check method, and whether King calls for new rod bolts or a specific measuring process.] What else you need: check the included instructions for rod bolts, a plastigage or micrometer clearance check, and whether the crank and rods need machine shop inspection before these bearings go in.

Free US shipping over $99

Orders over $99 ship free by ground to the lower 48 states. Alaska, Hawaii and Canada are not included; shipping to those addresses is calculated at checkout. Some oversize or heavy parts (long-tube exhausts, bumpers, full lift kits) go freight instead of parcel: free to a commercial address with a loading dock, and residential freight delivery carries an additional charge.

When it ships

Parts ship direct from the distributor warehouse that stocks them, so dispatch timing depends on the part, not on a single cutoff. You get a confirmation with tracking as soon as it leaves, and tracking shows the delivery estimate for your address. If a part is backordered we email you an expected availability date.

Missing or damaged items

Report a short shipment or shipping damage within 5 business days of delivery. For a packing error, send us the date or package code printed on the label along with the part number so we can trace it with the warehouse.

We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.

To start a return, you can contact us at help@anythingcoyote.com or fill our our contact form. If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package.
