ACL 3M8294-STD Main Bearing Set for Subaru EA81/EA82

The ACL 3M8294-STD Main Bearing Set is engineered for the Subaru EA81 and EA82 engines, specifically designed for optimal performance in the 1781cc configuration. These bearings are constructed with advanced materials and precision engineering, ensuring they meet the demands of high-performance applications.

Key Features

  • Trimetal Construction: The unique combination of design, metallurgy, and engineering provides excellent durability and performance under higher RPM conditions.
  • High Strength Overlay: A reduced thickness overlay plate enhances fatigue properties, allowing for improved longevity and reliability.
  • Hardened Steel Backs: All rod bearings feature hardened steel backs, which improve support for the bearing lining and enhance retention within the housing.
  • Increased Crush: This feature enhances bearing retention, ensuring stability during operation.
  • Optimized Heat Transfer: The elimination of flash plating on the back of the bearings improves heat dissipation, maximizing the grip between the bearings and their housing.
  • Enhanced Eccentricity: Increased eccentricity compensates for bore distortion at high RPM, aiding in the formation of hydrodynamic oil films.
  • 3/4 Grooved Design: Main bearings are designed with a 3/4 groove to optimize load-carrying surface area and oil flow to the connecting rod bearings.
  • Tight Wall Tolerances: Consistent wall tolerances help maintain precise clearances, crucial for engine performance.
  • Enlarged ID Chamfers: Bearing edges are chamfered where necessary to accommodate large fillet radii on performance crankshafts.

Specifications

  • Material Properties: These bearings exhibit excellent abrasion resistance, load resistance, impact resistance, and heat resistance.
  • Available Sizes: Standard (STD), .010" (10), and .020" (20) options available for precise fitment.

The ACL 3M8294-STD Main Bearing Set is a reliable choice for those looking to enhance the performance and durability of their Subaru EA81/EA82 engines. With its technical advancements in bearing design, this set ensures that your engine operates smoothly and efficiently under demanding conditions.
