HOT RODS BIG END BEARINGS ARE MADE TO THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE STANDARDS
Case hardened, silver coated, flat profile KU bearings are used throughout our entire
line and high-quality, long-shouldered KZ bearings are used in our two-stroke wrist pin
bearing applications. In short, our bearings are just as tough and reliable as our rods
SILVER COATED -
The silver is used as a sacrificial lubricant in situations of low lubrication levels. Silver has a low melting temperature. During dangerous low lubrication moments the silver will actually melt and become a form of lubrication in place of the oil. Obviously this can only occur for short durations but every little bit helps.
