$36.95

Alright, gearheads, let’s talk about something that can really make a difference in your engine’s performance: the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings. These aren’t just any bearings; they’re crafted with a unique blend of design and metallurgy that’s all about handling those high RPMs without breaking a sweat. Whether you've got a 4, 6, or 8-cylinder beast, these bearings are built to keep your engine running smooth and strong.

What Makes These Bearings Stand Out?

  • High Strength Overlay: The overlay plate is thinner but tougher, which means it can take the heat and pressure without losing its edge.
  • Hardened Steel Backs: Every rod bearing comes with a hardened steel back, giving extra support to the bearing lining and helping it stay put in the housing.
  • Improved Crush: We’ve cranked up the crush to keep the bearings locked in place, so you don’t have to worry about them shifting under stress.
  • No Flash Plating: Forget about flash plating on the back. This design helps with heat transfer and ensures a solid grip between the bearings and their housing.
  • Increased Eccentricity: This feature compensates for any bore distortion at high RPMs, helping to form those all-important hydrodynamic oil films.
  • 3/4 Grooved Main Bearings: These are designed to optimize load carrying and oil flow to the conrod bearings, which is crucial for performance setups.
  • Tight Tolerances: Consistency is key, and these bearings help you maintain those tight clearances you’re after.
  • Enlarged ID Chamfers: We’ve made sure to accommodate those big fillet radii on performance crankshafts, so you’re all set for high-performance builds.
