ACL Chrysler 345 5.7L Hemi V8 Standard Size Aluminum Tin Thrust Washer Set 03-17 - 1T611S-STD

If you're diving into the world of high-performance engines, you know that every little detail matters. That’s where the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings come into play. These aren't just any bearings; they’re designed for those who push their engines to the limit, especially in 4, 6, and 8-cylinder setups. I’ve had my fair share of experiences with these bearings, and let me tell you, they deliver exactly what you’d expect when you’re chasing higher RPMs.

What sets these bearings apart is the unique blend of design and metallurgy. The high-strength overlay plate is thinner, which might sound counterintuitive, but it actually improves fatigue properties. This means they can take a beating without losing their integrity. Plus, the hardened steel backs on the rod bearings provide solid support for the lining, ensuring they stay put in their housing, even under intense conditions.

One of the standout features is the increased crush, which really helps with bearing retention. No one wants to deal with bearings that shift around when you’re pushing your engine hard. And forget about flash plating on the back; that’s been eliminated to enhance heat transfer and grip. This is crucial for forming those hydrodynamic oil films that keep everything running smoothly at high RPMs.

Speaking of high RPMs, the increased eccentricity is a game-changer. It compensates for bore distortion, which is a common issue when you’re revving hard. The 3/4 grooved main bearings optimize the load-carrying surface area, ensuring that oil flows efficiently to the conrod bearings. Tight wall tolerances mean you can maintain consistent clearances, which is essential for performance engines. And if you’re working with performance crankshafts, the enlarged ID chamfers on the bearing edges accommodate larger fillet radii, making installation a breeze.

As for the specs, these bearings come in standard size (STD) and are made from durable aluminum tin. They fit a range of Chrysler models, including the Chrysler 300 (2005-2017) and Chrysler Aspen (2007-2009). If you’re running a Chrysler 345 5.7L Hemi V8, these bearings are a perfect match for your setup.

In short, if you’re serious about performance and reliability, the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings are worth considering. They’ve got the engineering chops to back them up, and from my experience, they’ll help keep your engine running strong, even when you’re pushing it to the max.
