ACL High Performance Rod Bearing Set 0.50mm Oversized for Subaru EJ20/EJ22/EJ25 52mm Journal
$40.45

Hey there, fellow gearheads! If you're looking to give your Subaru Impreza a serious upgrade, let me tell you about these ACL Race Series Engine Bearings. These aren't just any bearings; they're crafted from a unique mix of design, metallurgy, and engineering know-how that really steps up your engine's game. Whether you're pushing your ride to the limit or just want peace of mind on the road, these bearings are built to handle it.

So what makes these bearings stand out? For starters, they come with a high-strength overlay plate that’s thinner than your typical bearing, which means better fatigue resistance when you're revving high. Plus, all rod bearings feature hardened steel backs that not only support the bearing lining but also help keep everything snug in the housing. You don’t want your bearings shifting around when you’re pushing your engine hard, right?

Another cool feature is the increased crush for better retention. That means these babies stay put where they belong. And forget about flash plating on the back—it's gone! This change improves heat transfer and helps the bearings grip the housing better, so you get optimal performance. The engineers also increased the eccentricity to tackle any bore distortion that can happen at high RPMs, which helps form those crucial hydrodynamic oil films.

Now, let’s talk specifics. These bearings come with 3/4 grooved main bearings, which optimize the load-carrying surface and ensure oil flows smoothly to the conrod bearings. The wall tolerances are tight and consistent, so you can maintain clearances that are spot-on. And if you're running a performance crankshaft with a large fillet radius, the enlarged ID chamfers on the bearing edges have got you covered.

Here’s the nitty-gritty on the specs:

  • Size: STD
  • Oil Clearance: + 0.001" Extra
  • Half Type: Identical Halves
  • Material: Tri-metal Hardened Steel Backs
  • Min Std Shaft Size: 2.0466 in / 51.984 mm
  • Max Std Shaft Size: 2.0472 in / 52.000 mm
  • Min Std Tunnel Size: 2.1654 in / 55.000 mm
  • Max Std Tunnel Size: 2.1661 in / 55.020 mm
  • Max Wall at Crown: 0.0585 in / 1.487 mm
  • Max Overall Length: 0.6496 in / 16.50 mm

These bearings are specifically designed for the Subaru Impreza from 1993 to 2018, and they fit the EJ20, EJ22, and EJ25 engines with a 52mm journal size. If you're looking for a 0.50mm oversized high-performance rod bearing set, this is the way to go. Trust me, your engine will thank you for it!
