  • Elimination of flash plating enhances heat transfer and maximizes grip between the bearing and housing.
  • Increased eccentricity compensates for bore distortion at high RPMs while helping to form hydrodynamic oil films.
  • 3/4 grooved main bearings optimize load-carrying surface area and oil flow to conrod bearings.
  • Tight, consistent wall tolerances maintain precise clearances for optimal performance.
  • Enlarged ID chamfers on bearing edges accommodate large fillet radii on performance crankshafts.
