Glyco advanced engine bearing technologies withstand heavy loads and cope with the increasingly challenging conditions of modern, environmentally-friendly engines Glyco is the world’s largest manufacturer of OE-quality bearings. Every year, our engine bearings are fitted on more than 10 million engines around the world – from small bore engines to heavy-duty commercial vehicles and stationary engines. Driven by the need to reduce CO2 emissions, today’s engines extract more power from less fuel. Due to the increased temperature and load, conventional bearings struggle to cope. Thanks to over 100 years of innovation, Glyco provides bearings with advanced metallurgy that can withstand these challenges. Federal-Mogul invented Glyco Sputter Bearings with twice the service life of conventional bearings. Glyco developed G-188, the first intelligent bearing material, and were also first to launch a full lead-free material portfolio. Recent innovations include the highly durable Glyco IROX bearing shells, which address the challenges of hybrid, stop-start and downsized engines.

Product Features:

• Original Equipment Quality
• Excellent wear resistance
• Low propensity to seize
• Reduction in Friction

In 2007, CRP Automotive proudly introduced the Pro Series ContiTech Timing Kits complete with timing belt, tensioners (hydraulic when applicable), idlers, and a water pump. After receiving an overwhelmingly positive response from professional repair technicians, we decided to take this great idea and make it better. In 2010, we introduced our Pro Series Plus kits. This line contains everything the Pro Series line has to offer plus the addition of cam and balance shaft seals. In 2015, we decided to make our best kits even better. We UPGRADED many of our the Pro Series and Pro Series PLUS Kits with even more OEM content along with a guarantee that matches the manufacturer’s service interval up to 120,000 miles. Comprehensive parts kit: Hydraulic Damper – For applications requiring the use of a hydraulic damper, Pro Series timing kits contain an OE-quality unit ready to go. One less thing to slow you down. Water Pump – An OE-quality water pump is included in all Pro Series timing kits, along with any necessary seals and gaskets. In selected cases, we even offer an option of metal or plastic impellers and a choice of housing or no housing. Timing Belt – A durable OE-quality ContiTech timing belt is the heart of every Pro Series kit, and it’s covered by a written guarantee that matches the vehicle’s original service interval. Idlers – All necessary idlers and pulleys for the belt path are included in Pro Series timing kits. OE-quality, of course. Tensioner – A Pro-Series OE-Quality tensioner will keep the proper amount of tension on the timing belt system. Cam and Balance Shaft Seals – The new Pro Series Plus kits add these critical seals to the already strong Pro Series parts list.

TRW Engine Components is a recognized developer of valves and valve train components. A wide range of materials and material combinations are used to meet the engineering requirements in the different engine applications. Materials vary from ferritic martensitic steels (intake valves) and austentic CrMn based steels to extreme heat and corrosion resistant Nickel base super alloy for exhaust valves. To improve wear and corrosion resistance, valves can be chromium plated or nitrided. These coatings are used to improve the compatibility of the valve stem surface to the valve guide material. If necessary, exhaust valves (and in some cases also intake valves) can be hard-faced. In hard-facing, a more heat and wear resistant material is welded to form the valve seat. Seat hard-facing extends the valve life significantly.

Product Features:

• OE Quality
• Optimized for strength
• Heat and corrosion resistant
• Chromium plated or nitrided
• Stem optimized to resist wear

VAG Recommends New Lifters to be replaced at the same time as valves are resurfaced or replaced, it is further recommended that lifters are allowed to “Settle” for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow excess oil to drain. It is ideal to allow the engine to rest over night prior to starting, it is preferred to turn the engine over by hand prior to starting. If this recommendation is not complied with, valves will contact the piston resulting in the valve breaking at the valve collect groove.
