Calico Coated ACL Race Main Bearings for Ford EL, AU, BA, FG, and FGX 4.0L Barra with Full 360° Thrust

ACL RACE Series Performance Engine Bearings, in collaboration with Calico Coatings, offer a superior option for high-performance engine building. ACL, known for its advanced engine bearings, and Calico, a leader in performance coatings, have come together to provide coated bearings that excel in the most demanding environments. With over 15 years of proven success in motorsports and extreme applications, this partnership delivers reliability and top-tier performance. The Calico-coated ACL RACE Series bearings are now available through all ACL distributors.

Description
These coated bearings feature ACL’s RACE Series metallurgy combined with Calico’s renowned CT-1 dry film lubricant. The CT-1 coating reduces friction and wear while offering protection even in harsh conditions like dust or dirt exposure. Designed to endure the extreme demands of modern high-performance engines, CT-1 delivers enhanced embedability, strength, and durability, providing engine builders with confidence in their builds.

Key Advantages

• Provides intermittent dry lubrication, unaffected by dust or dirt
• Low coefficient of friction for smoother performance
• Thin coating to accommodate tight assembly tolerances
• Chemical resistance and corrosion protection
• Reduces friction and drag, minimizing parasitic power losses

Protection Against Low Oil Pressure/Oil Starvation
In real-world scenarios like cold starts or rough terrain, engine bearings may experience temporary oil starvation. CT-1 coated bearings offer a dry film lubricant that provides critical protection during these periods, preventing damage to the crankshaft and bearings.
