$103.95

If you’re diving into the world of high-performance engines, you know that the right bearings can make all the difference. That’s where these ACL Race Series Engine Bearings come into play. They’re crafted with a unique blend of design and metallurgy, specifically tailored for those who push their engines to the limit. Whether you're working on a 4, 6, or 8-cylinder setup, these bearings have you covered.

What Makes Them Stand Out?

  • Strong Overlay Plate: The overlay plate is high-strength and thinner, which means it can handle the stress of higher RPMs without flaking out.
  • Hardened Steel Backs: Each rod bearing features hardened steel backs that not only support the lining but also lock it in place within the housing. No more worrying about your bearings moving around when you’re pushing the pedal to the metal.
  • Increased Crush: These bearings come with an increased crush for better retention. It’s all about keeping everything snug and secure.
  • Heat Transfer: They’ve eliminated flash plating on the backs, which helps heat transfer and ensures a solid grip between the bearing and its housing.
  • Eccentricity Boost: With increased eccentricity, these bearings can handle bore distortion at high RPMs, helping to maintain that all-important hydrodynamic oil film.
  • Optimized Main Bearings: The 3/4 grooved main bearings are designed to maximize load carrying and oil flow to the conrod bearings, so your engine runs smoother.
  • Tight Tolerances: You’ll appreciate the tight and consistent wall tolerances that help maintain clearances, giving you peace of mind when you're revving high.
  • Chamfered Edges: Enlarged ID chamfers on the bearing edges accommodate larger fillet radii on performance crankshafts, making installation easier.
