ʻO ka ikaika o ke koʻokoʻo loulou he 800 MPa, he 800 kJ/m² ka loli o ka hopena, a he 22–25 HRC ka paʻakikī o ke kikowaena. Hoʻohana ʻia ka wili hao CO₂ ikaika kiʻekiʻe e hōʻoia i ka ikaika o ka mīkini loulou. Hana ʻia ka liner kūloko me ka hao i hoʻolei ʻia me ka graphite spheroidal e hōʻoia i ka hana lubrication ponoʻī o ka loulou bākeke.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole i hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā loulou hoʻohuli, e pau nā lua a pono e hoʻololi ʻia. Hiki ke hōʻino ʻia ka bākeke a me nā loulou hoʻohuli ma muli o ka pae ʻana o nā pine bākeke i ka wā e ʻeli ana a i ʻole ka haumia ʻia e nā mea e like me nā kaulahao hāpai.

No kou ʻoluʻolu, mālama mākou i nā loulou hoʻohuli i nā pālua a me nā loulou bākeke me ka ʻole o nā lāʻau liʻiliʻi, e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana hou i nā lāʻau liʻiliʻi kahi i maikaʻi mau ai lākou.
