ACL Engine Bearings Connecting Rod Bearing Set for BMW E30 M3 S14B20/23/25 I4, Size STD
$99.95

If you're diving into the world of high-performance engines, you know that the little things can make a big difference. That's where these ACL Race Series Engine Bearings come into play. Designed with a mix of smart engineering and solid metallurgy, these bearings are built to handle the demands of higher RPMs without breaking a sweat. They fit right into popular 4, 6, and 8-cylinder setups, making them a solid choice for anyone looking to push their engine's limits.

What Makes Them Stand Out:

  • High Strength Overlay: The overlay plate is thinner but tougher, which means better fatigue resistance. You want your bearings to last, especially when you're pushing your engine hard.
  • Hardened Steel Backs: All rod bearings come with hardened steel backs. This not only supports the bearing lining but also helps keep everything locked into place within the housing.
  • Increased Crush: More crush means better retention, so these bearings stay put even under pressure.
  • No Flash Plating: We ditched the flash plating on the back, which helps with heat transfer and ensures a solid grip between the bearings and the housing.
  • Increased Eccentricity: This feature helps counteract bore distortion at high RPMs and aids in forming hydrodynamic oil films, crucial for those high-speed runs.
  • 3/4 Grooved Main Bearings: These are designed to optimize load carrying and oil flow to the conrod bearings, which is essential for keeping everything lubricated.
  • Tight Wall Tolerances: Consistent wall tolerances mean you can maintain clearances that are spot on, which is key for engine performance.
  • Enlarged ID Chamfers: These accommodate larger fillet radii on performance crankshafts, making sure everything fits smoothly.
