ACL 5M8297A-.25 Main Bearing Set

Introducing the ACL 5M8297A-.25, a meticulously crafted main bearing set designed specifically for Subaru engines, particularly the EJ18, EJ20, EJ22, and EJ25 models. This 0.25mm oversized set is engineered to meet the demands of high-performance applications, providing reliability and durability under extreme conditions.

Key Features:

  • High Strength Overlay: The overlay plate is designed with a reduced thickness that enhances fatigue resistance, making it suitable for higher RPM situations.
  • Hardened Steel Backs: Each rod bearing features hardened steel backs to improve support for the lining and ensure better retention within the housing.
  • Increased Crush: Enhanced crush design improves bearing retention, ensuring stability during operation.
  • Heat Transfer Efficiency: The elimination of flash plating on the backs allows for better heat transfer and maximizes the grip between bearings and their housings.
  • Increased Eccentricity: This feature compensates for bore distortion at high RPM, aiding in the formation of hydrodynamic oil films.
  • Optimized Oil Flow: The 3/4 grooved design of the main bearings maximizes the load-carrying surface area and ensures efficient oil flow to the conrod bearings.
  • Tight Tolerances: Consistent wall tolerances help maintain precise clearances, crucial for high-performance builds.
  • Chamfered Edges: Enlarged ID chamfers accommodate larger fillet radii on performance crankshafts, enhancing compatibility.
