If you’re serious about performance, you know that the heart of your engine is its bearings. That’s where the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings come into play. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill bearings; they’re crafted with a unique blend of design, metallurgy, and engineering that really delivers when the rubber meets the road. I’ve had my fair share of experiences with these bearings, and let me tell you, they’re built to handle the high RPMs that come with serious driving.

What sets these bearings apart? For starters, the high strength overlay plate is thinner, which means it offers better fatigue properties. This is crucial when you’re pushing your engine to its limits. The hardened steel backs on all the rod bearings give solid support to the bearing lining, ensuring they stay put even under the most intense conditions. Plus, the increased crush helps keep everything snug, so you don’t have to worry about them shifting around when you're tearing up the track.

Heat management is another area where these bearings shine. The elimination of flash plating on the back allows for better heat transfer, which is a game-changer during those long runs. You want your bearings to grip the housing tightly, and these do just that. The increased eccentricity helps counteract any bore distortion at high RPMs, which is key for forming those hydrodynamic oil films. Trust me, that’s what you want when you’re pushing your engine hard.

On top of that, the 3/4 grooved main bearings optimize the load-carrying surface area and enhance oil flow to the conrod bearings. It’s all about keeping things lubricated and running smoothly, right? And with tight, consistent wall tolerances, you can maintain the clearances you need for a reliable performance.

Now, let’s talk specs. These bearings come in sizes like STD, 001, and 010, so you can find the right fit for your setup. The oil clearance is standard, and they’re designed as upper and lower half types. The tri-metal construction with hardened steel backs means you’re getting durability that can stand up to the rigors of racing.

For those of you wondering about fitment, these bearings are perfect for the Dodge Charger from 2006 to 2020. They also fit Chrysler V8 models like the 318, 340, and 360 in standard size. Just to give you an idea of the dimensions, the minimum standard shaft size is about 2.124 inches, and the maximum is 2.125 inches. The overall length of these bad boys is around 0.8472 inches, which fits nicely into most setups.

In short, if you’re looking to upgrade your engine’s performance, the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings are a solid choice. They’re engineered for the serious driver who wants reliability and power under the hood. Give them a shot—you won’t be disappointed!
