HP is a Bi-Metal bearing series that was developed mainly for drag race applications needing a material that is harder than the Babbitt top layer.

HP series is particularly suitable for the following cases:

• When a tri-metal bearing’s Babbitt overlay extrudes over the sides or migrates to one end
• When the intermediate layer of a tri-metal bearing is exposed, damaging the crank journal 
• When contaminants enter the oil stream, scratching and damaging the crankshaft journals
