SI Bearings WORK…
Wear
resistance - the
silicon particles help round off high spots on the crank surface during engine
operation, which reduces friction & related wear.
Excellent
control of wall variance
- because the bearings are unplated, wall variances are reduced by as much as
40% less than tri-metal (over-plated copper lead) bearings.
Fatigue
strengths dramatically improved
- KING’s SI bearings easily exceed maximum peak load capacity for car and
light duty applications.
Improved
oil clearance tolerances
- because of reduced wear, SI bearings make it possible to maintain OEM
clearances over the life of the engine, which in turn reduces operating noise,
vibration, and excess oil flow
O.E. preferred material - most O.E. engines today use and take advantage of all these benefits.
SI Bearings LAST…
Outstanding
service life -
exceeds OEM engine durability of 150,000 miles
Superior
temperature threshold
- the melting point/flaking point of the silicon bi-metal SI bearings is
significantly superior to the older tri-metal design (1,100°
vs. 400°).
This enables KING Engine Bearings to hold up under tough overheating conditions.
Exceptional
corrosion resistance
– defends against corrosion caused by unleaded fuels and moisture.
Minimized
debris embedment
– because SI bearings are unplated and bored, hard-particle debris is
instantly flushed through the bearing and filtered out of engine rather than
scoring the crankshaft and causing long term damage.
SI Bearings SAVE…
Cost Efficient – KING offers you 2 ways to save money
-
Reduced warranty claims due to bottom end failures
-
KING customers receive the best pricing (and quality) in the business
Environmentally safe – reduced lead content makes SI bearings environmentally friendly.
