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.

The cooling of high-load motor oils by oil coolers or the guarantee of an almost constant temperature spectrum brings considerable advantages. Oil change intervals are extended and the engine service life is increased. A basic distinction is made between air-cooled and coolant-cooled types. Depending on requirements, this latter type can be installed in the coolant box or engine block or attached externally to the engine, gear, cooling module or oil filter housing. Behr’s latest design is a compact and powerful stack-disc oil cooler. Since it manages without coolant housing and is made completely of aluminum, its outstanding features are its low weight and design space requirements.

Product Features:

• Meets or exceeds OE specifications
• Manufactured using advanced materials
• Low weight and design space requirements
• OE Style connections and mounting hardware

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

MAHLE Original piston rings lead the way in ring technology and innovation for the Aftermarket – after all, MAHLE is the largest manufacturer of piston rings in the world. MAHLE Original rings are at the forefront of light vehicle piston ring technology. Extensive OE connections mean that MAHLE Original rings have the technological edge. Things like the CP-20 oil ring, narrow compression rings, steel compression rings for gasoline engines, low-tension oil rings and coated compression rings for diesels all came from the OE. The MAHLE Original performance line proves time and again that it should be the ring of choice under every hood – regardless of the application. Grey cast iron or ductile iron was traditionally the material of choice for automotive applications – today, steel is preferred over iron by more and more engine builders. Steel compression ring technology has been used in heavy-duty applications for over 30 years. That know-how has become essential to the design and engineering of today’s automotive engines. Steel piston rings offer higher tensile strength, higher yield strength, greater fatigue life, and greater hardness while still offering a lower ring mass. These factors lead to better stress resistance, reduced groove pound-out, longer service life, better conformability, superior oil economy, and improved blow-by control while still lowering friction.

Product Features:

• Ease of installation makes them the premier choice for rebuilders everywhere.
• The CP-20 rings can withstand the harsh operating environments in today’s engines.
• The CP-20 consists of a barrel-faced top compression ring for better seal and quicker break-in, a reverse torsional twist second ring for better oil control
• The CP-20 design oil ring that is easier to install
• Chemically polished for better oil drain-back
• A 20 degree ear angle to ensure side seal around the ring
