What is the purpose of the Calico coating on these rod bearings?

The Calico coating is a dry-film lubricant that helps reduce friction and wear. It's especially beneficial during engine break-in and under high-performance driving conditions, helping to protect both the bearings and the crankshaft.

Are these bearings suitable for an engine with an oversized crankshaft?

No, these are standard size bearings. They are designed to be used when your crankshaft journals are still within the factory's original specifications. If your crankshaft has been machined or is worn beyond standard size, you would need undersize bearings.

What else should I consider when installing new rod bearings?

It's essential to have new engine oil and a new oil filter ready for installation. Also, verify that your engine's oil pump is functioning correctly to ensure adequate oil pressure, which is critical for bearing longevity.

About this part

Product Details

You get a full set of standard size rod bearings with a Calico coating in this kit, which means you're ready to replace worn bearings and get your engine running smoothly again. These are designed for Honda F20C and F22C engines found in the S2000, and also fit the H22A4 engine in certain Preludes. Properly functioning rod bearings are crucial for keeping your engine's crankshaft properly supported and lubricated, preventing serious damage.

ACL has been making engine bearings for a long time, and these are a well-built option for anyone rebuilding or refreshing their engine. The Calico coating is a special dry-film lubricant that helps reduce friction and wear, especially during the critical break-in period and under high-performance conditions. This coating can help extend the life of both the bearings and your crankshaft journals. Since these are standard size, they're meant to be used when your crankshaft journals are still within factory specifications.

When you're putting an engine back together, it's important to have all the right parts. Make sure you have new engine oil and a new oil filter ready to go before you start. It's also a good idea to check your oil pump to ensure it's working correctly, as proper oil pressure is key to keeping these bearings happy.
