ACL Race Series Engine Bearings (5M590P-01)

When it comes to upgrading your engine's performance, the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings (5M590P-01) are engineered to meet the demands of high RPM conditions while ensuring durability and reliability. These Trimetal engine bearings are tailored for a variety of popular 4, 6, and 8-cylinder applications, making them an essential component for any serious rebuild or performance enhancement.

Features

  • High-strength overlay plate with reduced thickness enhances fatigue resistance, perfect for those extended track days.
  • Hardened steel backs on all rod bearings provide superior support for the bearing lining, ensuring they stay securely in place during aggressive driving.
  • Increased crush for improved bearing retention, vital for maintaining optimal performance under load.
  • Flash plating elimination on the back of the bearings enhances heat transfer, maximizing the grip between the bearings and housing.
  • Increased eccentricity allows for compensation of bore distortion at high RPM, aiding in the formation of hydrodynamic oil films for smoother operation.
  • 3/4 grooved main bearings optimize load-carrying surface area and oil flow to the conrod bearings, enhancing lubrication and reducing wear.
  • Tight, consistent wall tolerances help maintain precise clearances, crucial for performance engines.
  • Enlarged ID chamfers on bearing edges accommodate large fillet radii on performance crankshafts, ensuring a snug fit.
