Calico Coated ACL Race Series Crankshaft Thrust Washer Set for Toyota 1JZ-GTE inc VVTi & 2JZ-G(T)E inc VVTi

ACL proudly partners with Calico Coatings to provide the high performing coated bearings for the motorsports industry.

Our coated bearings are coated with Calico’s CT-1 Dry Film Lubricant coating. This coating 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.

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.

Process

CT-1 Dry Film Lubricant coating is applied as a spray process. Different surface preparation methods appropriate for the substrates will be used prior to the coating process. Coating thickness is varied to suit the application. Typical coating thickness for engine bearings is 0.00025” to 0.00030” inch (6 to 7.5 microns).

Advantages

Provides intermittent dry lubrication, Not affected by dust or dirt, Low coefficient of friction, Increases load carrying capacity, Thin coating to accommodate assembly constraints, Chemical resistance, Corrosion protection, Reduced friction and drag resulting in decreased parasitic load

• Corrosion Protection
• Increased Lubricity
• Low Coefficient of Friction
• Oil and Fuel Resistant

Embeded Ability

CT-1 coated bearings have excellent embeded abiliy characteristics, allowing debris contaminates to embed in the bearing, avoiding damage to the crank.

Increased Load Carrying Capacity

Under normal conditions performance bearing overlays withstand 12,000psi. CT-1 coated bearings increase this load capacity to 180,000psi.

Extreme Oil Temperatures

CT-1 coated bearings have shown a reduction in oil temperatures as much as 15?F - 20?F. Lower oil temperatures also aid in the loss of viscosity due to extreme heat.

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
