ACL 5M1010HX-STD Race Series Engine Bearings

For those who demand reliability and performance from their engine components, the ACL 5M1010HX-STD Race Series Engine Bearings are engineered to meet the needs of high-performance applications. Whether you’re revving the engine of a classic Ford Bronco (1966-1996) or a vintage Ford Fairlane (1955-1970), these bearings are designed to handle the rigors of higher RPMs and provide the durability you expect from a premium product.

Key Features

  • High-strength overlay plate with reduced thickness enhances fatigue resistance, ensuring longevity under stress.
  • Hardened steel backs on all rod bearings improve support for the bearing lining and help retain the bearings securely in their housing.
  • Increased crush for better bearing retention, providing a snug fit that holds up under pressure.
  • Eliminated flash plating on the back of the bearings enhances heat transfer, maximizing grip between the bearings and their housing.
  • Increased eccentricity compensates for bore distortion at high RPM, facilitating the formation of effective hydrodynamic oil films.
  • 3/4 grooved main bearings optimize load-carrying surface area and improve oil flow to the conrod bearings.
  • Tight, consistent wall tolerances help maintain precise clearances, crucial for performance tuning.
  • Enlarged ID chamfers on bearing edges accommodate large fillet radii on performance crankshafts, ensuring a proper fit.

“I put these in my Fairlane during a full rebuild, and they fit like a glove. No issues with clearance, and they’ve held up great even when pushing the engine hard.” - Ford Fairlane Owner
