• High-strength overlay plate with reduced thickness for superior fatigue resistance
• Hardened steel backing on all rod bearings for improved support and housing retention
• Increased crush design for enhanced bearing retention under extreme conditions
• Flash plating eliminated from bearing backs to maximize heat transfer and housing grip
• Increased eccentricity compensates for bore distortion at high RPM

Specifications:

• Bearing Width: 0.799 inches
• Outside Diameter: 2.0519-2.0525 inches
• Shaft Diameter: 1.9291-1.9297 inches
