Lindsey Racing is now offering the most superior connecting rod bearing solution ever offered for the 944 series engines.

These bearings were developed to give you the optimum bearing clearances whether for your stock engine or a blueprinted 8,500 RPM full race engine.

These bearings will fit your connecting rods as is and do not require machining extra alignment tabs. This enables you to simply slip these into your engine by dropping the oil pan without removing the connecting rods.

These bearing are full width like the factory bearings to give you 100% of the original intended support surface and not like other now obsolete solutions where you install a narrower bearing from a completely different engine family.

AVAILABLE SIZE / VERSIONS:

  • 928-103-143-15-H: Race Connecting Rod Bearing Pair (two bearing halves/one cylinder worth). Size = STD
  • 928-103-143-15-HC: Race Connecting Rod Bearing Pair (two bearing halves/one cylinder worth). Size = STD. Friction Coated.
  • 928-103-143-15-HX: Race Connecting Rod Bearing Pair (two bearing halves/one cylinder worth). Size = STD + .001" Oversize.
  • 928-103-143-15-HXC: Race Connecting Rod Bearing Pair (two bearing halves/one cylinder worth). Size = STD + .001" Oversize. Friction Coated.

What is Friction Coated?

Our coated bearings are coated with Calico Coatings CT-1 Dry Film Lubricant. This coating helps reduce friction and abrasive wear. It provides intermittent dry lubrication and is not affected by dust or dirt. CT-1 is specifically engineered to withstand the extreme conditions of today's high performance engines. Professional engine builders enjoy a higher level of confidence with increased embedability, strength and durability.

The applied coating is .0005" thick. So coating both bearing shells will reduce the jornal bore by .001".

What is STD +.001" Oversize?

That means the bearing pairs connecting rod journal bore is .001" larger in diameter then the Standard (STD) bearing diameter.

When we say STD or Standard, think of that as if you were purchasing a .STD size bearing in a Genuine Porsche or Glyco brand. If you had a new crank, and new rods, this is the correct size for most people. But over time, you "may" need something different because of wear.

Why is there 4 different versions?

Is your crankshaft at factory dimensions? Has there been some visible imperfections and you have had it's journals polished, maybe a bunch? Is your connecting rod original equipment? Do you have a new Pauter, Carrillo, Wossner, Moloner connecting rod set? We see differences in the diameter of the big end bore (where these bearings go) from one brand to another.

These four different bearings allow the engine builder to mix and match these bearings in order to get the desired final clearance. This would require your engine builder to have "high quality" measuring equipment.

These bearing shells are thinner at the part line then at the top or bottom of the shell. This allows you to mix and max any combination of the 4.

SOOOO......

If you were about to order bearings for your basic rebuild and were going to order Glyco or Genuine Porsche, and would rather use a higher quality bearing... you could either use 4 sets of 928-103-143-15-H, or if you wanted Dry Film coated bearings, you could use 4 sets of 928-103-143-15-HXC. The HXC because they are coated with a .0005" thick coating, the coated end product will be the same journal diameter as the plain STD bearings.

If you're blueprinting your engine and shooting for a specific tolerance, then we recommend getting everything measured and figure out which combination of our choices will get you there.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERING



TO OUR INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS:


In the past, we have used a separate order form for placing International orders. We have quit using that process and are requiring all customer to use the shopping cart system built into the web site and it's check out process.

If you simply want a quotation and are not ready to place an order, then cut and paste the contents of your shopping basket, take a screen shot of the basket, or make a list of items and send us a email requesting a quotation with shipping.

If you need shipping prices before you make your final decision to purchase, then you should request that quotation by email and not use the shopping cart checkout process because you will be paying for the parts at that time.

Since our shopping cart and shipping estimator will "NOT" correctly calculate shipping charges on International Orders, we have it set-up to where the shipping will be Zero Dollars ($0.00) when checking out. When the shopping carts address process learns you are not in the United States by selecting your particular country, that's when it switches to equal Zero. That does NOT mean shipping is free.

Upon completion of the check out process, you will have paid for your parts but NOT the shipping on those parts.

Once we look over your parts ordered and calculate shipping weights and box sizes, we will send you an E-Mail with at least one shipping option and maybe several. We utilize UPS, DHL and the United States Postal Service (USPS) to deliver your parts.

Once you pick a shipping carrier and agree to the quotation by returning the E-Mail, we will be sending a PayPal money request for the amount of the shipping to be collected. If the parts are expected to be shipping out quickly, then you may receive that email quickly. If the parts are going to need to be built or something is on back order from the list of parts, we may hold off sending that E-Mail until we have the shipment ready to go. It can vary from order to order as to how we do that. If you think you should be hearing from us quickly, but you don't, feel free to contact us.

If you have special shipping needs or requirements, during the checkout you will see a SPECIAL ORDER INSTRUCTIONS window. Enter that special information there.

A good bit of our business is International and we have been taking care of those valued customers since 1999.
