If you're serious about performance, you know that the right engine bearings can make all the difference. That’s where the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings come into play. These aren't just any bearings; they’re built for those who push their engines to the limit. Whether you’re running a 4, 6, or 8-cylinder setup, these bearings are designed to handle the high RPMs that come with spirited driving or racing.

What sets these bearings apart? For starters, they feature a high-strength overlay plate that’s thinner than what you might find elsewhere. This isn’t just for show; it actually helps improve fatigue properties, which means they can take a beating without giving up. The hardened steel backs on all rod bearings provide solid support for the lining, ensuring they stay put in their housing even under the toughest conditions.

One of the standout features is the increased crush, which really helps with bearing retention. You won’t have to worry about them shifting around when you’re pushing your engine hard. Plus, they’ve eliminated flash plating on the backs of the bearings, which is a game-changer for heat transfer. Better heat dissipation means better performance, and who doesn’t want that?

These bearings also come with increased eccentricity, which compensates for any bore distortion you might experience at high RPMs. This is crucial for forming those hydrodynamic oil films that keep everything running smoothly. And let’s not forget the 3/4 grooved main bearings—this design optimizes load-carrying surface area and oil flow to the connecting rod bearings, so you get maximum efficiency.

With tight and consistent wall tolerances, you can maintain precise clearances, which is essential for performance builds. Plus, there are enlarged ID chamfers on the bearing edges to accommodate those larger fillet radii found on performance crankshafts. It’s all about the details, and these bearings have them covered.

When it comes to specifications, these bearings are created by NDC, known for their quality. They excel in abrasion resistance, load resistance, impact resistance, and heat resistance. The bearing sizes are listed as STD (.000"), so you can find the perfect fit for your setup. For example, the 6B1301A-40 ACL Nissan 6 3956cc P/P40/PF 40 oversized connecting rod bearing set is perfect for those looking to upgrade their performance.

In short, if you want to keep your engine running strong and reliable, these ACL Race Series Engine Bearings are worth a serious look. They’re built for the enthusiast who knows that every part matters when you’re chasing that extra edge on the track or the road.
