Why Choose ACL Race Series Bearings?

These Trimetal engine bearings are designed with a unique combination of cutting-edge metallurgy and engineering principles.

Key Features

  • Increased crush for better bearing retention, giving you peace of mind during aggressive driving.
  • Elimination of flash plating on the back of the bearings improves heat transfer and maximizes grip within the housing.
  • Increased eccentricity compensates for bore distortion at high RPM, aiding in the formation of hydrodynamic oil films.
  • 3/4 grooved main bearings optimize load-carrying surface area and oil flow to the conrod bearings.
  • Tight wall tolerances help maintain consistent clearances, crucial for performance tuning.
  • Enlarged ID chamfers accommodate larger fillet radii on performance crankshafts, ensuring a perfect fit.
