English term or phrase: dialed bearing
Análisis de las partículas que pueden encontrarse en los diferentes componentes del motor. No llego a entender que quiere decir "dialed" aquí. Los resultados de "dialed bearing" en Google no arrojan luz sobre el tema, ya que no tienen nada que ver con motores. Muchas gracias.

Aluminum particles typically account for the nonferrous metal found in ***dialed bearings***.

Spanish translation:failed bearing
Explanation:
IMO most likely a typo or (less likely) an OCR error.

As pistons in internal combustion engines are almost always made from aluminium alloy and piston wear produces aluminium particles that find their way into the oil and are circulated through the engine if they aren't captured by the oil filter, the presence of aluminium particles in failed bearings is not surprising.

Asker: Thanks, Ken! This really makes sense. The text is full of typos. I spent half an hour trying to figure out what a "beating cap" was, only to realize that it was a "bearing cap". Thanks for your time!
