If you're looking to push the limits of your engine, you might want to check out the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings. These aren’t just any bearings; they’re designed for serious performance. With a unique blend of design and metallurgy, they hold up beautifully under high RPM conditions, making them perfect for everything from classic muscle cars to modern hot rods.
What sets these bearings apart? For starters, the high-strength overlay plate is thinner than what you might find in standard bearings, which helps improve fatigue properties. This means you can rev higher without worrying about wear and tear. Plus, the hardened steel backs on all rod bearings provide solid support for the bearing lining, ensuring they stay put in the housing even when the engine's pushing hard.
And let’s talk about crush—these bearings have increased crush to enhance retention, so you can really lay down the power without any slip. The elimination of flash plating on the back also means better heat transfer, which is crucial when you’re pushing your engine to the max. The design includes increased eccentricity, too, which helps compensate for any bore distortion at high RPMs and aids in forming those all-important hydrodynamic oil films.
One of the standout features is the 3/4 grooved main bearings. This design optimizes load-carrying surface area and ensures that oil flows smoothly to the conrod bearings, keeping everything lubricated and happy. With tight, consistent wall tolerances, you can maintain those clearances you need for performance without any guesswork. Plus, the enlarged ID chamfers on the bearing edges are a nice touch, accommodating larger fillet radii on performance crankshafts.
In terms of specs, these bearings come in sizes ranging from STD to 020, so you can find the perfect fit for your engine setup. They’re made from tri-metal with hardened steel backs, ensuring durability and reliability. The standard oil clearance is just what you need for a robust performance, and they fit a variety of popular applications, including the Chevrolet Bel Air, Camaro, and Malibu, among others.
So if you're running a 53.34 mm journal and need something that can handle the heat and the power, these ACL bearings are worth considering. They’re built for those who really want to get the most out of their ride without cutting corners on quality.
