When it comes to pushing your engine to the limits, you need bearings that can keep up. That’s where the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings come into play. These aren’t just any bearings; they’re specifically designed for high-performance applications, making them perfect for those who love to rev their engines. Whether you’re working with a 4, 6, or 8-cylinder setup, these bearings are built to handle the heat and pressure of higher RPM conditions.

Let’s talk about what makes these bearings stand out. First off, they feature a high-strength overlay plate that’s thinner than what you might find in standard bearings. This isn’t just for show; it actually improves fatigue properties, which means they’re less likely to wear out when you’re really pushing your ride. Plus, the hardened steel backs on all rod bearings provide solid support for the bearing lining, ensuring they stay put in the housing, even when things get wild.

One of the coolest features is the increased crush, which enhances bearing retention. You won’t have to worry about them shifting around when you’re hitting those high RPMs. And speaking of high RPMs, these bearings eliminate flash plating on the back, which significantly improves heat transfer. This means they can handle more heat without losing grip, ensuring a solid connection between the bearings and the housing.

With increased eccentricity, these bearings can adapt to bore distortion at high speeds, helping to create those all-important hydrodynamic oil films. The 3/4 grooved main bearings are a game changer too—they optimize the load-carrying surface area and boost oil flow to the conrod bearings, which is crucial for performance.

When it comes to fit and finish, these bearings don’t skimp. They have tight, consistent wall tolerances, so you can maintain those clearances without a hitch. Plus, they come with enlarged ID chamfers on the edges, designed to accommodate the large fillet radius typically found on performance crankshafts. It’s all in the details, right?

Now, for the specs: you can choose from sizes like STD and .025, and they come with standard oil clearance. The material is tri-metal with hardened steel backs, ensuring durability. They fit standard shaft sizes ranging from 1.7707 inches to 1.7717 inches, and the tunnel sizes are consistent at 1.8898 inches. With a max wall thickness of 0.0591 inches and an overall length of 0.6890 inches, these bearings are engineered for performance.

If you’re working on an Acura Integra from 1986 to 2001, these bearings are a perfect match for your B18C1/C5 engine. Trust me, when you’re looking to get the most out of your engine, these ACL Race Series Engine Bearings are a solid investment that you won’t regret.
