If you're serious about performance, you'll want to check out these ACL Race Series Engine Bearings. They're not just another set of bearings; they’re crafted with a unique blend of design, metallurgy, and engineering that really delivers when you push your engine to the limit. Whether you’re revving up a 4, 6, or 8-cylinder beast, these bearings are built to handle those higher RPMs without breaking a sweat.

What’s cool about these bearings is the high-strength overlay plate. It’s been thinned out to improve fatigue resistance, which is a big deal when you’re pushing your engine hard. Plus, the hardened steel backs on the rod bearings really step up the game. They support the bearing lining better and help keep everything snug in the housing, so you don’t have to worry about any slipping or movement when the engine's hot and roaring.

Another feature that stands out is the increased crush for enhanced bearing retention. This means they sit tight in their housing, even under extreme conditions. And forget about flash plating on the backs of the bearings—ACL has eliminated that to boost heat transfer and grip. It’s all about making sure these bearings can take the heat and keep doing their job without skipping a beat.

When you’re running at high RPMs, bore distortion can be a pain, but these bearings have increased eccentricity to help with that. They assist in forming hydrodynamic oil films, which is crucial for keeping everything lubricated and running smoothly. The 3/4 grooved main bearings are another smart touch, optimizing the load-carrying surface area and ensuring oil flows freely to the conrod bearings. It’s all about keeping that engine happy.

And let’s not forget about the tight tolerances. These bearings come with consistent wall measurements that help maintain clearances, so you can trust that everything is fitting just right. Plus, the enlarged ID chamfers on the edges accommodate larger fillet radii on performance crankshafts, which is something you’ll appreciate when you’re building or upgrading your engine.

In terms of specs, you’ve got options with standard sizes like .001, .010, and .020. They’re designed for a standard oil clearance and come in identical halves, made from tri-metal with hardened steel backs. If you’re working on a Ford Falcon from 1960 to 1970 or a Ford 4.0L Barra (including Turbo), you’ll find that these bearings fit perfectly. The minimum standard shaft size is 2.1234 inches, and maxes out at 2.1238 inches, with tunnel sizes that run from 2.239 to 2.2398 inches.

In short, if you’re looking to squeeze every bit of performance out of your engine, these ACL Race Series Engine Bearings are a solid choice. They’re built for the real world, where power meets precision.
