Atomic - Torrington Bearing Kit – Ford Barra DOHC 6-Cyl | Crank Thrust Control

Atomic Torrington Bearing Kit – Ford Barra DOHC 6-Cyl | Crankshaft Thrust Control | High-Power Reliability

Description:
In high-horsepower Barra builds, the crankshaft is under massive axial (thrust) load — especially in cars with high-stall converters, heavy clutches, launch control systems, or transbrakes. These forces push the crank forward under load, placing enormous stress on the factory thrust bearing surface.

The Atomic Torrington Bearing Kit is designed to handle these conditions by replacing the factory-style flat thrust washer with a needle roller Torrington bearing and hardened thrust washers. This significantly reduces friction and wear on the crankshaft thrust face, helping maintain bearing alignment and crank stability under load.

✅ Key Features:

✅ Suits all Ford Barra DOHC 4.0L 6-cylinder engines
✅ Replaces OEM-style crank thrust washer with Torrington needle roller bearing
✅ Includes hardened steel thrust washers for strength and longevity
✅ Controls crankshaft end float under high torque and drivetrain shock
✅ Ideal for use with auto or manual setups making big power
✅ Designed for engines with high-stall converters, clutches, or transbrakes
✅ Proven in Atomic-built engines pushing 1000+hp on street and strip

🛠️ Why You Need It in Big Power Builds:

✔️ Crankshaft thrust loads increase dramatically with high power and drivetrain shock
✔️ Reduces wear on the crank and block thrust surfaces
✔️ Maintains consistent crankshaft alignment under load
✔️ Extends bearing life and improves long-term bottom-end durability
✔️ A must-have upgrade for performance Barra engines with serious torque

📦 What’s Included:

• 1x Torrington needle roller thrust bearing

• 2x Hardened steel thrust washers

• Requires machining to suit
