The original bearing was a standard Clevite Tri-Metal \"H\" series design. The new bearing is still tri-metal, but is an \"F\" series design. The F Series is coated with Silver Oxide, instead of the Calico PTFE. The F series shell design can handle 30% more load, and the Silver Oxide coating is better in low oil and boundary conditions than the Calico PTFE.\u003cstrong\u003e This means your engine will have a stronger bearing for higher horsepower that will withstand low oil and clearance abuses\u003c\/strong\u003e even better than our previous design.
