ACL 5M1039P-01 Trimetal Main Bearing Set

The ACL 5M1039P-01 Trimetal Main Bearing Set is engineered for high-performance applications, specifically designed to meet the demands of Ford V8 engines from 1968 to 1998. This set features advanced metallurgy and precision engineering, making it a reliable choice for both street and race applications.

Key Features

  • High-strength overlay plate with reduced thickness enhances fatigue resistance, ensuring longevity under high RPM conditions.
  • Hardened steel backs on all rod bearings improve support for the bearing lining, aiding in retention within the housing.
  • Increased crush enhances bearing retention, providing a secure fit within the engine block.
  • Elimination of flash plating on the back of the bearings optimizes heat transfer, maximizing grip between the bearings and their housing.
  • Increased eccentricity compensates for bore distortion at high RPM, facilitating the formation of hydrodynamic oil films.
  • 3/4 grooved design optimizes load-carrying surface area and oil flow to the connecting rod bearings.
  • Tight, consistent wall tolerances maintain precise clearances for better performance.
  • Enlarged ID chamfers accommodate large fillet radii on performance crankshafts, ensuring compatibility with upgraded components.
