2001 Volkswagen Passat Oversized Main Bearings

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.

Clevite is the number one name in replacement engine bearings, delivering on the track and in machine shops around the country. As more and more OE manufacturers shift to aluminum bearings in OE engines, Clevite has introduced a new line of engine bearings designed to be the highest quality replacement bearings in the industry. Clevite BiMetal engine bearings carry on the tradition and reputation that Clevite has built throughout the course of time. Clevite BiMetal engine bearings feature a 100% lead free aluminum silicon bi-metal material, which includes 60% more silicon than the leading competitor’s bi-metal material for better conditioning of journal surfaces. These BiMetal bearings also offer greater wear resistance than the leading competitor’s bi-metal material, as well as greater seizure resistance. Clevite BiMetal bearings feature 100% bored ID’s for precision and surface characteristics and where appropriate – straight shell main bearings utilizing an umbrella groove that allows for superior oil control and improved pressure.
