Motorcycle Engine Bearings
Since motorcycle bearings are smaller than automotive, the oil clearance is smaller too. In order to achieve optimal conditions of hydrodynamic lubrication, the absolute tolerance of the oil clearance should be tighter than that of bigger automotive bearings.
UNDERSTANDING OIL CLEARANCES IN ENGINE BEARINGS
One way to make engines live and have good durability is to have just the right amount of bearing oil clearance. Maintaining a cushion of oil between the bearing and shaft is essential for proper bearing operation and to prevent metal-to-metal contact. Generally, tighter oil clearances are better due to the increased load distribution resulting
POLYMER COATINGS ARE A REAL TURNING POINT FOR PERFORMANCE ENGINE BEARINGS
