Calico Coated ACL Race Big End Bearings for Ford EL, AU, BA, FG, and FGX 4.0L Barra 

Our coated bearings combine ACL’s durable RACE Series metallurgy with Calico’s renowned CT-1 dry film lubricant coating. Designed to reduce friction and abrasive wear, CT-1 provides intermittent dry lubrication, offering reliable protection even in harsh environments like dust or dirt. Engineered for the extreme demands of today’s high-performance engines, CT-1 enhances embedability, strength, and durability, giving professional engine builders increased confidence.

Key Advantages

• Intermittent dry lubrication, unaffected by dust or dirt
• Low coefficient of friction for improved performance
• Thin coating to fit assembly constraints
• Chemical and corrosion resistance
• Reduced friction and drag, minimizing parasitic power loss
• Oil and fuel resistant

Embedability
CT-1’s excellent embedability allows debris to embed in the bearing material, preventing damage to the crankshaft.

Extreme Oil Temperatures
CT-1 coated bearings can lower oil temperatures by 8°C to 11°C (15°F to 20°F), reducing viscosity loss caused by extreme heat.

Low Oil Pressure/Oil Starvation
In real-world conditions, like cold starts or rough terrain, bearings may experience temporary oil starvation. CT-1 coated bearings provide a dry film lubricant that safeguards the crankshaft and bearings during these critical moments.
