ACL Main Bearing Set 7M5532HX-STD for VW VR6 Inline 6 Diesel High Performance - 7M5532HX-STD

If you're diving into the world of high-performance engines, you know that every little detail counts. That’s where the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings come into play. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill bearings; they’re designed specifically for those who push their engines to the limit, whether you’re running a 4, 6, or 8-cylinder setup. Trust me, these bearings are built to handle the heat and the RPMs.

So, what sets these bearings apart? For starters, the high strength overlay plate is thinner than what you’d find in standard bearings, which means better fatigue resistance when you're revving high. And let’s not forget the hardened steel backs on all the rod bearings. This feature not only supports the bearing lining but also keeps everything snug in the housing—no one wants a bearing that’s slipping around.

Speaking of keeping things in place, these bearings have increased crush for better retention. You might be wondering why that matters; well, when you're pushing your engine hard, you need every bit of support you can get. Plus, they’ve eliminated the flash plating on the back, which really helps with heat transfer. That means your bearings stay cooler, longer, and grip better in their housing.

At high RPMs, bore distortion can be a real pain. But with increased eccentricity in these bearings, you won’t have to worry as much. They help form hydrodynamic oil films that are crucial for keeping everything lubricated and running smoothly. And if you’re concerned about oil flow to your conrod bearings, the 3/4 grooved main bearings optimize the load carrying surface area just for that.

When it comes to fitment, these bearings have tight and consistent wall tolerances, which means you can maintain consistent clearances across the board. Plus, they’ve got enlarged ID chamfers where it counts, making them compatible with those performance crankshafts that have larger fillet radii. It’s all about the details, right?

Specifications:

  • These bearings are ready to withstand those higher RPM conditions that we all love to push for.
  • Available sizes include STD, .025, and .25, so you can find the perfect fit for your setup.

For those running a 7M5532HX-STD ACL VW VR6 Inline 6 Diesel, this standard size main bearing set offers extra oil clearance, giving you that added peace of mind when you’re in the thick of it. If you’re serious about performance, these bearings are a must-have in your build. You’ll notice the difference when you hit the gas.
