Clevite Engine Bearings and Calico Coatings!!!

Since their development of the first precision insert-type bearing in 1929, Clevite 77 engine bearings have set the pace for engineering quality. Clevite 77 engine bearings are built above industry standards for strength and durability –even exceeding the highest standards set by Heavy Duty engine manufacturers. The majority of Clevite 77 engine bearings utilize a superior TriMetal™ design first developed by Clevite 50 years ago and perfected over time. This design incorporates the strength of a copper-lead alloy layer on a precision steel back and finally, a precision electroplated white metal "babbitt" surface layer. TriMetal is an ideal design, producing a degree of conformability, embedability, slipperiness and fatigue resistance, not found in many original equipment and competitive bi-metal bearings.

All Clevite 77 Engine Bearings manufactured by them are color coded for quick and positive identification of undersize's. The possibility of confusion or errors in installation is virtually eliminated by checking the color code on the side of each bearing.

Clevite 77 has an extensive, long-standing history with racing. Our Clevite 77 product has been winning NASCAR-sanctioned races since 1948, and is the exclusive bearing of NASCAR Performance.

We offer the most extensive line of performance engine bearings in the market. Our range of performance engine bearings is designed to provide winning results even in the most demanding applications. Our involvement in INDY, NASCAR, ARCA, NHRA and IHRA racing as well as other forms of motor sports have proven Clevite to be the leaders in engine bearing technology both on the track and off.

The Clevite 77 line offers extensive coverage for all domestic and import light vehicle applications. We also offer a complete line-up of heavy vehicle, off-road, industrial, agricultural and marine applications.

It's no wonder that Clevite 77 is used more often than any other bearings in cars worldwide and in most race cars. In addition, Clevite 77 has been in most winning engines at Indianapolis and NASCAR. And that's why, year after year, quality engines everywhere turn on Clevite 77 bearings.

Calico Coatings

CT-1 Coating - Using CT-1 coated engine bearings is proven to dramatically reduce catastrophic engine failures. Engines incorrectly plumbed or suffering from low or no oil pressure, cold starts, low or no flow have survived with little or no significant damage. Engines in racecars that have wrecked and lost oil pump drive belts have been able to pit for repairs, replace their belts and be back on the track to finish the race and finish well.
Engines overheating from cooling system failure to the point of oil “breakdown” have avoided total destruction of expensive components (block, rods, and crankshafts) due to the secondary lubrication provided by the .0002 to .0004 inch layer of CT-1 dry film lubricant. Thus, eliminating downtime associated with these types of engine failures. reduce catastrophic engine failures and last longer than uncoated bearings. Calico Coatings has the largest stock and widest coverage of CT-1 coated high performance engine bearings available anywhere.

Engine bearings coated with CT-1 coating last longer than uncoated bearings. Customers have returned Winston Cup bearings with as much as 2000 race miles and show relatively no wear. Short track engines that have been used for two or three seasons of weekly racing appear to still be serviceable. Bearings from drag racers that have been used for five seasons with an untold number of passes are also serviceable. In all applications, Calico Coatings CT-1 coated engine bearings have proven to successfully save time and money for all racers using the coating. With minimal investment, engine builders can rest a little easier knowing they have a wider margin of safety to rely on.

Calico Coatings has the largest stock and widest coverage of CT-1 coated high performance engine bearings available anywhere. All popular sizes and series are on hand. Rod and main bearing sets are stocked in AE/Clevite or Federal Mogul. Cam bearing sets available in ACL, AE/Clevite, Dura Bond and Federal Mogul.
