Engine bearings, especially those handling the duties of the connecting rods and crankshaft are among the most vital pieces to keep your program functioning whether it makes 100hp or 10,000hp and this video talks about some of the different considerations you need to look into when selecting the right ones. Bill McKnight, the MAHLE man himself leads the discussion, handling the description and theory behind these parts in an awesome fashion. This is stuff that every gearhead needs to understand and Bill delivers it in plain language that we can all get.
Some of the bonus coolness in this video comes a the end when he is talking about working with the top fuel teams and others on their extreme engines and what they do to the bearings on a good run. The bottom line is that while the bearings in your stock, high mileage OEM engine may be perfect for THAT highway cruiser, the proper high performance bearing needs to be selected for your high performance engine and this video goes over all the stuff you need to consider.
Learn something! This is good.
