ACL 8B745P-01 Trimetal Rod Bearing Set

The ACL 8B745P-01 Trimetal Rod Bearing Set is engineered for high-performance applications, particularly suited for Chevrolet V8 engines from 265 to 327 cubic inches. This rod bearing set is designed to meet the demands of both street and race conditions, providing the reliability and strength that automotive enthusiasts expect.

Key Features

  • Constructed with a high-strength overlay plate that has a reduced thickness, enhancing fatigue resistance during high RPM operations.
  • Hardened steel backs on all rod bearings improve support for the bearing lining, ensuring secure retention in the housing.
  • Increased crush for better bearing retention, which is critical for maintaining performance under load.
  • Elimination of flash plating on the back of the bearings enhances heat transfer, maximizing grip between the bearings and their housing.
  • Increased eccentricity compensates for bore distortion at elevated RPMs, facilitating the formation of hydrodynamic oil films.
  • 3/4 grooved main bearings optimize load-carrying surface area and improve oil flow to the connecting rod bearings.
  • Tight and consistent wall tolerances help maintain precise clearances for optimal engine performance.
  • Enlarged ID chamfers on bearing edges accommodate larger fillet radii on performance crankshafts.
