ACL Cummins 5.9L Standard Size Connecting Rod Bearing Set +.003 OD 2003+
$33.54

When it comes to pushing your engine to its limits, you want bearings that can handle the heat—literally. That's where the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings come into play. These aren't just your run-of-the-mill bearings; they’re crafted with a unique blend of design, metallurgy, and engineering that really speaks to the needs of performance enthusiasts. Designed for 4, 6, and 8 cylinder setups, they’re built to withstand those higher RPMs without breaking a sweat.

What makes these bearings stand out?

  • The overlay plate is high strength but thinner, which means you get improved fatigue properties. Less weight, more strength—can’t go wrong there.
  • All rod bearings come with hardened steel backs. This little touch boosts the support for the bearing lining and helps keep everything snug in the housing.
  • They’ve upped the crush factor too, which means better retention. Your bearings aren’t going anywhere.
  • Forget about flash plating on the back; it’s gone. This change improves heat transfer and helps the bearings grip the housing better. Less slippage, more grip.
  • With increased eccentricity, these bearings are ready to handle bore distortion at high RPMs, aiding in the formation of those all-important hydrodynamic oil films.
  • Check out the 3/4 grooved main bearings—they optimize the load-carrying surface area and ensure oil flows smoothly to the conrod bearings. That’s crucial for performance.
  • Thanks to tight wall tolerances, you can keep those clearances consistent, which is a must for any serious build.
  • And if you’ve got a performance crankshaft, the enlarged ID chamfers on the bearing edges accommodate larger fillet radii, so you can push your setup even harder.

Product Specs:

  • Size: Standard
  • Oil Clearance: +.003 Extra

These bearings are specifically made for the 2003+ Cummins 5.9L with a machined CR cap, and they come as a standard size connecting rod bearing set with a +.003 OD. If you're looking to keep your engine running cool and strong, these are the bearings you want to consider. They’re tough, reliable, and ready to take your engine performance to the next level without the fluff.
