If you're diving into the world of high-performance engines, you know that quality components are everything. That's where the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings come into play. These aren't just any bearings; they're designed for those who push their engines to the limit. With a unique blend of design, metallurgy, and engineering, these bearings are built to handle the kind of RPMs that would make lesser bearings crumble.

What sets these bearings apart? For starters, the high-strength overlay plate is thinner than what you might find in standard bearings. This reduction in thickness doesn’t just save weight; it significantly enhances fatigue properties, making them more durable under pressure. The hardened steel backs on the rod bearings provide robust support for the bearing lining, ensuring they stay put even when the engine is screaming.

One of the standout features is the increased crush, which boosts bearing retention. This means you can trust these bearings to stay in place, even during those intense driving sessions. Plus, they've eliminated flash plating on the back, allowing for better heat transfer and a tighter grip in the housing. This is crucial when you're pushing your engine hard.

Now, let’s talk about eccentricity. These bearings have been designed with increased eccentricity to counteract any bore distortion at high RPMs. This helps in forming hydrodynamic oil films, which is vital for keeping everything lubricated and running smoothly. And with the 3/4 grooved main bearings, you get optimized oil flow to the conrod bearings, ensuring that every part of your engine is well-fed.

Consistency is key in high-performance builds, and these bearings deliver with tight wall tolerances that help you maintain those critical clearances. The enlarged ID chamfers on the edges accommodate larger fillet radii on performance crankshafts, making installation a breeze.

As for the specs, you’re looking at sizes like STD and .025, with standard oil clearance. These bearings come as identical halves made from tri-metal hardened steel backs, ensuring durability and reliability. They fit a range of popular applications, including the Acura Integra from '86 to 2001, and various Honda models from '90 to 2020. So whether you’re working on a Honda Accord or a CR-V, these bearings have got you covered.

In short, if you're serious about your engine's performance, the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings are a solid investment. They’re built to endure, designed for precision, and ready to help you get the most out of your ride.
