If you’re looking to give your engine the kind of love it deserves, you really can’t go wrong with these ACL Race Series Engine Bearings. They’re not just your average bearings; they’re crafted with a unique blend of design and metallurgy that makes them stand out in the crowd. Built for those high RPM moments when you really want to push your engine, these bearings are available for a wide range of popular 4, 6, and 8-cylinder setups.
What Makes These Bearings Special?
- Strong Overlay Plate: The overlay plate is thinner but packs a punch with improved fatigue resistance. That means they hold up better under pressure.
- Hardened Steel Backs: All rod bearings come with hardened steel backs, which helps support the bearing lining and keeps them snug in their housing.
- Better Crush: We’ve cranked up the crush to enhance bearing retention. You want these things to stay put, especially when the engine’s screaming.
- No Flash Plating: By ditching the flash plating on the back, we’ve improved heat transfer and ensured a solid grip between the bearings and their housing.
- Increased Eccentricity: This feature helps compensate for bore distortion at high RPMs and aids in forming those all-important hydrodynamic oil films.
- 3/4 Grooved Main Bearings: These are designed to optimize load-carrying surface area and improve oil flow to your conrod bearings.
- Tight Tolerances: We’ve kept the wall tolerances tight and consistent, which means you can maintain those clearances just the way you like them.
- Enlarged ID Chamfers: The bearing edges have enlarged ID chamfers where needed, so they fit nicely with performance crankshafts.
