ACL Mazda V6 1.00mm Oversized Conrod Bearing Set 88-98, Fits 626 2497-2954CC
$21.45

Alright, let's talk about the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings. These aren't just any bearings; they're built for those who really push their engines to the limit. If you're revving high RPMs, you need something that can handle the heat and stress, and that's where these bad boys come in.

First off, the design is pretty slick. They've got this high-strength overlay plate that's thinner than what you might find in standard bearings, which helps reduce fatigue. If you’ve ever had a bearing fail on you, you know how important that is. Plus, all the rod bearings come with hardened steel backs. This not only supports the bearing lining but also keeps everything snug in the housing—no more worrying about slippage during those intense drives.

Now, let’s get into some of the nitty-gritty features:

  • The increased crush on these bearings means they stay put, even under heavy loads.
  • They've ditched the flash plating on the back, which helps with heat transfer. This means they can dissipate heat better and grip the housing more effectively.
  • With increased eccentricity, these bearings can handle bore distortion when you're pushing high RPMs. This helps form those all-important hydrodynamic oil films that keep everything running smoothly.
  • The 3/4 grooved main bearings are designed to optimize the load-carrying surface area and ensure that oil flows freely to the conrod bearings.
  • And let’s not forget about the tight wall tolerances. Consistent clearances are key for performance, and these bearings deliver.
  • They even come with enlarged ID chamfers where needed, so they fit nicely on performance crankshafts with large fillet radii.

As for the specs, these bearings are tough. They’re made to resist abrasion, handle heavy loads, and withstand heat like a champ. You can get them in standard size (.000") or .010" oversized, depending on what you need.

Now, if you’re looking to fit these into your Mazda 626 from 1988 to 2002, you’re in luck. The 6B8350-1.00 set is perfect for the V6 engines ranging from 2497 to 2954CC (KL JE). Just a heads up, these are 1.00mm oversized conrod rod bearings, so make sure you’re ready for that upgrade.

In short, if you’re serious about your engine performance, these ACL bearings are worth considering. They’ve got the strength and engineering to back up your passion for speed.
