It took longer to show up here than I imagined it would.
Yes it is expensive, no it is not for everyone. The technology was originally only intended for my engines.
Remember, the other plain journal bearings within your engine that are located in the main and rod bearing positions are also aluminum. faced. Since the unit is hydrodynamic, the wear surface is actually the film of oil between the rotating and stationary components that comprise the assembly. The "aluminum" used for the rotating component is not normal, it is a very special alloy that took us three generations of development to source and apply. This alloy of aluminum is made especially for bearing material and is not cheap.
why debate? Either someone believes in it or they don't. I developed it for my engine program and thats all I care about.
