Engine bearings are crucial for the engine to perform
effectively. During the upgrade process, this vital component is rarely
the first choice. Generating less heat, a higher performing, multi-layer
engine bearing will simply perform better. Cosworth's uniquely designed, Rod
Bearing Set combines design, metallurgy, and engineering to provide
continuous performance under the most extreme conditions.
All
connecting rod bearings come with a hardened steel backing with an
increased crush for better retention and tight, consistent wall
tolerances for a precision fit. With each set, the reduced thickness of
the high strength overlay plate allows for better oil control creating
less friction allowing for more heat transfer eliminating flash plating.
Mixing and
matching the bearing half-shells will provide incremental changes in the
amount of oil clearance. Measuring the bearing clearances is crucial
prior to selecting the appropriate bearing size to ensure optimal
performance.
