Designed specifically for high RPM conditions, these Trimetal engine bearings combine advanced metallurgy and engineering to deliver the durability and performance you need.

Key Features

  • High-strength overlay plate with reduced thickness enhances fatigue resistance.
  • Hardened steel backs on all rod bearings provide superior support and retention within the housing.
  • Increased crush for better bearing retention, ensuring they stay in place even under extreme conditions.
  • Elimination of flash plating on the back improves heat transfer, maximizing grip between the bearings and their housing.
  • Increased eccentricity compensates for bore distortion at high RPM, aiding in the formation of hydrodynamic oil films.
  • 3/4 grooved main bearings optimize load-carrying surface area and enhance oil flow to conrod bearings.
  • Tight, consistent wall tolerances help maintain precise clearances for optimal performance.
  • Enlarged ID chamfers on bearing edges accommodate large fillet radii on performance crankshafts.

Specifications

  • Large chamfer designed for larger crankshaft fillets.
  • 3/4 groove design for optimal oil supply to rods, maximizing load capacity.
  • Increased crush and tighter wall tolerances for improved seating.
  • Enhanced overlay with reduced thickness for greater fatigue strength.
  • Standard hardened steel backing to maintain crush under high loads and temperatures.
