ACL High Performance Main Bearing Set (.25) for Toyota 2ZZGE 1796cc, Fits 2000+ Lotus Elise/Exige/Celica
$144.17

If you're looking to take your engine's performance to the next level, these ACL Race Series Engine Bearings are a solid choice. They're built with a unique blend of design and metallurgy that really shines when the RPMs start climbing. Seriously, if you’ve got a 4, 6, or 8-cylinder engine, these bearings are worth checking out.

What Makes Them Stand Out?

  • High Strength Overlay: The overlay plate is thinner but tough, which means it can handle fatigue better. This is crucial when you’re pushing your engine hard.
  • Hardened Steel Backs: All the rod bearings come with hardened steel backs. This not only supports the bearing lining but also helps keep everything snug in the housing.
  • Increased Crush: More crush means better retention of the bearings, which is essential for high-performance setups.
  • No Flash Plating: Forget about flash plating on the back of these bearings. This design choice enhances heat transfer and ensures a solid grip between the bearings and the housing.
  • Increased Eccentricity: This feature helps manage bore distortion at high RPMs and aids in forming hydrodynamic oil films, so your engine runs smoothly.
  • 3/4 Grooved Main Bearings: These are designed to maximize the load-carrying surface area and improve oil flow to the conrod bearings. More oil where it counts!
  • Tight Wall Tolerances: Consistent clearances are key for performance, and these bearings deliver just that.
  • Enlarged ID Chamfers: The edges are chamfered to fit performance crankshafts with larger fillet radii, which is a nice touch for those building serious power.

These bearings are sized at STD, making them a direct fit for a range of applications. They’re a great match for:

  • Lotus Elise (1996-2018)
  • Lotus Exige (2004-2018)
  • Toyota Celica (1982-2005) - specifically the 5M1857HX-.25 ACL Toyota 2ZZGE 1796cc with extra oil clearance main bearing set 00+

In short, if you're serious about your engine's performance, these bearings are built to withstand the demands of higher RPMs while keeping everything running smoothly. They’re a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to push their engine to its limits.
