2008-2014 Gen IV LS Engines with 0.765" wide bearings
bimetal bearings are constructed of seamless steel tube with a thin layer of lead based babbitt material. Seamless construction makes installation easy, eliminating breakage and bearing surface interruptions. Lead based babbitt provides ideal properties for nearly all engine applications. Babbitt's superior embeddability, conformability, and anti-seizure characteristics have proven to reduce engine failures that harder bearing materials can cause. The seamless, 100% machined surface design provides the tightest tolerances in the industry. The centerless ground OD and centerless bored ID results in wall variations of under .0004".
AMS Armor Coating Details
Our Armor Coating provides added protection against
dry starts and oil starvation. By reducing bearing wear and flaking, we
add an extra level of protection to the bearing. Due to the decreased
friction, this also protects the bearings from heat build up.
