If you're diving into the world of high-performance engines, you know that the right bearings can make all the difference. Let’s talk about the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings. These aren’t just any bearings; they’re crafted with a unique blend of design, metallurgy, and engineering that really stands up to the demands of higher RPMs. Perfect for those who push their engines to the limit, these bearings are compatible with a range of popular 4, 6, and 8-cylinder setups.
Features You’ll Appreciate:
- High Strength Overlay: The overlay plate is thicker where it counts but trimmed down overall, giving you improved fatigue resistance without weighing you down.
- Hardened Steel Backs: Every rod bearing comes with hardened steel backs, which not only enhance support for the bearing lining but also help keep everything snug in its housing.
- Increased Crush: This feature boosts bearing retention, so you won’t have to worry about them shifting when the heat is on.
- No Flash Plating: By skipping the flash plating on the back, we've improved heat transfer and ensured a solid grip between the bearings and their housing.
- Increased Eccentricity: This helps counteract bore distortion at high RPMs and aids in forming those all-important hydrodynamic oil films.
- 3/4 Grooved Main Bearings: These are designed to maximize oil flow to the conrod bearings, optimizing load distribution.
- Tight Wall Tolerances: Consistency is key, and these bearings help you maintain precise clearances.
- Enlarged ID Chamfers: We’ve made sure the edges are chamfered where needed to fit those beefy fillet radii on performance crankshafts.
