These kits offer Calico-coated anti-friction bearings that guarantee consistent and dependable lubrication, even when subjected to the rigorous demands of high-performance engine applications. This makes our bearings an optimal choice not only for high-performance and race engines, but also for everyday commuters and street vehicles.
Proper lubrication and effective coating ensures the safety of these bearings during cold starts, preventing catastrophic failures, such as spun rod bearings, which are a common ailment among BMW engines using standard OEM bearings.
Beyond their friction-reducing qualities, these coated bearings are also equipped with remarkable thermal resistance properties. These attributes not only make them excel in high horsepower scenarios like forced induction or racing applications, but they also serve as a safeguard against abrupt engine failure in instances of oil pressure loss.
The proven track record of the 5150 bearings speaks for itself, having demonstrated exceptional longevity and superior performance compared to other bearings available in the market.
