Hey there, fellow gearheads! If you're looking to step up your engine's game, let me tell you about these ACL Race Series Engine Bearings. These bad boys are crafted with a solid mix of design and metallurgy that really delivers when you’re pushing your engine to the limits. Perfect for those of us who love to rev high, these bearings are built for the popular 4, 6, and 8-cylinder setups.
What makes them stand out?
- First off, the high-strength overlay plate is thinner, which means it can handle fatigue better. Less weight, more performance—what's not to like?
- All the rod bearings come with hardened steel backs. This adds a layer of support for the bearing lining, and it helps keep everything snug in the housing. No one wants a loose bearing, right?
- They've cranked up the crush to keep the bearings locked in place. That means less chance of slippage when you're really pushing it.
- Forget about flash plating on the back. These bearings are designed to transfer heat better, keeping your engine cooler and maximizing grip.
- Increased eccentricity is another cool feature. It helps with bore distortion at high RPMs and aids in forming those all-important hydrodynamic oil films.
- The 3/4 grooved main bearings are a smart touch, optimizing the load-carrying surface area and boosting oil flow to the conrod bearings.
- With tight and consistent wall tolerances, you can count on maintaining those clearances, which is crucial for performance.
- And for those of you running performance crankshafts, the enlarged ID chamfers on the edges accommodate larger fillet radii, so you won't have to worry about fitment issues.
