Key Features

  • Constructed with a high-strength overlay plate that has a reduced thickness, enhancing fatigue resistance and longevity.
  • Hardened steel backs on all rod bearings provide superior support for the bearing lining, ensuring reliable retention within the housing.
  • Increased crush design enhances bearing retention, preventing movement during high-torque applications.
  • Removal of flash plating from the back of the bearings improves heat dissipation and maximizes grip between the bearing and housing.
  • Enhanced eccentricity compensates for bore distortion at elevated RPMs, aiding in the formation of hydrodynamic oil films.
  • 3/4 grooved main bearings optimize load-carrying surface area and oil flow to the connecting rod bearings, critical for high-rev applications.
  • Tight wall tolerances ensure consistent clearances, which is essential for maintaining engine performance.
  • Enlarged ID chamfers on bearing edges accommodate large fillet radii found on performance crankshafts, allowing for smoother operation.

Specifications

  • Designed to withstand higher RPM conditions, making it suitable for racing and performance applications.
  • Available sizes: STD, .025, .25, allowing for precise fitment based on your engine's needs.
