Calico Coated ACL Race Series Bearings
COATED BEARINGS
Long term players in the performance engine
bearing industry ACL RACE Series Performance
Engine Bearings & Calico Coatings have formed a
collaboration to offer users an additional option in
performance engine building. ACL and Calico are,
respectively, technological leaders in the fields of
performance engine bearings and performance
coatings. Both companies have exemplary
reputations for quality, performance & knowledge in
their areas of specialization.
ACL engine bearings have been coated by Calico
for individuals for over 15 years, with proven
compatibility and an established track record
of excellence in the most exacting and extreme
performance applications.
ACL and Calico both have rich histories in
motorsport, the racetrack is the perfect proving
ground. This alliance culminates in the release of
ACL offering a range of Calico coated ACL RACE Series
Performance Engine Bearings. The coated range
is available through all current ACL distributors
DESCRIPTION
Our coated bearings combine ACL’s tough RACE
Series lining and overlay metallurgy with Calico’s
well renowned CT-1 coating.
CT-1 is a Dry Film Lubricant coating that helps
reduce friction and abrasive wear. It provides
intermittent dry lubrication and is not affected
by dust or dirt. CT-1 is specifically engineered to
withstand the extreme conditions of today’s high
performance engines. Professional engine builders
enjoy a higher level of confidence with increased
embedability, strength and durability
ADVANTAGES
Provides intermittent dry lubrication, not affected by
dust or dirt, low coefficient of friction. Thin coating
to accommodate assembly constraints, chemical
resistance, corrosion protection, reduced friction
and drag resulting in decreased parasitic losses.
• Corrosion Protection
• Increased Lubricity
• Low Coefficient of Friction
• Oil and Fuel Resistant
LOW OIL PRESSURE/OIL STARVATION
Theoretically a crankshaft rides on a thin film of oil
that protects both the crank and bearing. Real world
experience such as cold starts and rough terrain
conditions have proven otherwise. CT-1 coated
engine bearings provide a dry film lubricant that
protects against intermediate oil starvation.
