ACL Race Series Engine Bearings (Part No: 8B745H-001)

If you're looking to enhance the performance of your classic Chevy or Corvette, the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings are engineered to provide the durability and reliability you need for high RPM situations. These bearings are not just another aftermarket part; they are the result of meticulous design, advanced metallurgy, and hands-on engineering. Whether you're restoring a vintage ride or tuning your daily driver, these tri-metal bearings are built to handle the demands of performance driving.

Key Features

  • High strength overlay plate with reduced thickness for enhanced fatigue resistance.

  • Enhanced eccentricity to accommodate bore distortion at high RPM, promoting hydrodynamic oil film formation.
  • 3/4 grooved main bearings optimize load carrying and oil flow to conrod bearings.
  • Consistent wall tolerances maintain precise clearances for optimal performance.
  • Enlarged ID chamfers on edges for compatibility with performance crankshafts.
