We asked the bearing brainiacs at Mahle for some tips on fitting engine bearings. The first thing they emphasized was the importance of getting an accurate measurement. “When measuring bearing measurements, they should always be taken at 90-degrees to the parting line to determine the minimum clearance. If measuring the bearing wall thickness, use a

“Upgrading even the most basic engine parts like engine bearings can give you a great performance advantage,” said Summit Racing tech expert Norm Koval. In this short tech tip video from Summit Racing and Powerblock TV, you’ll hear Koval explain how specialty coatings which reduce friction, and include certain machined design elements give performance bearings
