ACL Acura D16A1 0.025mm Oversized High Performance Rod Bearing Set 1992-2020
$46.95

If you're looking to push your engine to the limits, you can't go wrong with the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings. These aren’t just any bearings; they’re crafted from a unique blend of design, metallurgy, and engineering that really sets them apart. I’ve had my hands on these for a while now, and I can tell you they’re built to handle the higher RPMs that performance enthusiasts crave.

What I love most is the high-strength overlay plate. It’s thinner, which might sound counterintuitive, but it actually improves fatigue properties. You’ll appreciate the hardened steel backs on all the rod bearings, too. This feature not only supports the bearing lining but also helps keep everything snug in the housing. Trust me, when you’re revving high, you want that kind of reliability.

These bearings come with increased crush, which means better retention. Plus, they’ve eliminated flash plating on the back. Why does that matter? It enhances heat transfer and maximizes grip, ensuring that the bearings sit tight in their housing even when the engine’s working hard. The increased eccentricity is another smart touch; it compensates for bore distortion at high RPMs and aids in forming those all-important hydrodynamic oil films.

And let’s talk about the main bearings—3/4 grooved to optimize the load-carrying surface area and oil flow to the conrod bearings. This little detail can make a significant difference in performance. The tight, consistent wall tolerances help you maintain those clearances that are so crucial for engine health. They even have enlarged ID chamfers where needed, which is a nice nod to those of us running performance crankshafts with larger fillet radii.

Now, on to the specs. You can get these bearings in sizes like STD, .025, and .25, with standard oil clearance and identical halves. They’re made from tri-metal with hardened steel backs, ensuring durability under pressure. If you’re wondering about fitment, they’re compatible with a range of Honda Civics from 1992 to 2020, specifically the Acura D16A1 with a 0.025mm oversized option.

In short, if you're serious about performance and want a bearing that can keep up with your engine's demands, these ACL Race Series Engine Bearings are a solid choice. They’ve got the grit and engineering to help you get the most out of your ride.
