Key Features

  • High-strength overlay plate with reduced thickness enhances fatigue resistance, ensuring longevity under extreme conditions.
  • Hardened steel backs on all rod bearings offer superior support for the bearing lining, improving retention within the housing.
  • Increased crush enhances bearing retention, preventing movement during high-stress scenarios.
  • Flash plating elimination on the back of the bearings optimizes heat transfer and maximizes grip between the bearings and housing.
  • Increased eccentricity compensates for bore distortion at high RPM, facilitating the formation of hydrodynamic oil films for better lubrication.
  • 3/4 grooved design on main bearings optimizes load-carrying surface area and oil flow to the conrod bearings.
  • Tight and consistent wall tolerances maintain precise clearances, crucial for performance applications.
  • Enlarged ID chamfers on bearing edges accommodate larger fillet radii found on performance crankshafts.
