ACL Aluglide Main Bearings | 1993-1997 7-Bolt DSM (5M1186A)

Aluglide Main Engine Bearings by ACL The addition of Silicon as an alloying element to the Aluminium Tin family of bearing materials has elevated it to the next generation of performance materials. This is currently the choice of most OE manufacturers as the global mandate to have Lead free vehicles is enforced. An added benefit of the Aluminium Tin Silicon bearings is the excellent wear resistance properties, extending the service life of these parts. However, BEWARE! Not all Aluminium Tin Silicon bearing materials are the same. The select alloying elements and heat treatments used by ACL have been proven by rigorous OE testing to go the distance, and they are truly lead free. Features Alloy composition, casting and heat treatment methods develop exceptional toughness The tin phase of the alloy provides lubricity and low melting point liquid lubricant The relatively harder surface of the aluminium alloy has substantially reduced wear As the aluminium alloy is substantially softer t
