Overview

Manufactured in the U.K. with F1 technology, these bearings feature a proprietary tri-metal blend for increased stiffness under high loads and are designed for optimal oil film thickness to reduce the risk of bearing spin. Each bearing set includes 8 half shells with oiling holes, beneficial for wrist pin lubrication on rifle-drilled connecting rods. They also feature laser-marked identification marks for improved heat transfer and even wear.
Show original supplier description
The Mahle Motorsport/Vandervell Race Rod Bearing Set represents decades of F1-proven race bearing manufacturing expertise, offering superior durability and performance for demanding engines. Developed by Mahle, formerly Vandervell, this set utilizes a proprietary tri-metal blend that provides increased stiffness under high load conditions, making it essential for race engines. Unlike stamped marks, these bearings feature laser-marked identification, allowing for better heat transfer and a more even wear pattern by not disrupting the backing material. The set includes eight half shells equipped with oiling holes, ensuring a steady oil supply to the wrist pin, particularly when used with rifle-drilled connecting rods. These high-performance bearings are great for high HP engines and are made in the U.K. using F1 technology. Key features include strategically placed oiling holes and bearing locating tangs. They are specifically designed for most VW/Audi 4-cylinder engines that utilize connecting rods with bearing tangs. This set is an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking enhanced engine longevity and performance under extreme conditions.
