$8.95

When it comes to pushing your engine to its limits, you need bearings that can keep up. That's where these ACL Race Series Engine Bearings come in. Designed with a unique blend of engineering and metallurgy, these bearings are built to handle the high RPMs that come with serious driving. Whether you’re racing or just want your daily driver to feel a bit more alive, these bearings are ready for the challenge.

Let’s break down what makes these bearings stand out:

  • High Strength Overlay: The overlay plate is thinner but tougher, which means it can take more stress without giving up. Perfect for those who really push their engines.
  • Hardened Steel Backs: All rod bearings have hardened steel backs that help keep everything in place. This means better support for the bearing lining and less chance of it slipping out of the housing.
  • Increased Crush: With more crush, these bearings stay put better, which is crucial for high-performance applications.
  • No Flash Plating: By eliminating flash plating on the back, heat transfer improves significantly. This helps keep your engine cool and ensures a solid grip between the bearing and its housing.
  • Increased Eccentricity: This feature compensates for bore distortion at high RPMs, which helps in forming hydrodynamic oil films—essential for smooth operation.
  • 3/4 Grooved Main Bearings: These optimize the load-carrying surface area and improve oil flow to the connecting rod bearings, which is key for longevity.
  • Tight Wall Tolerances: Consistent clearances are crucial for performance, and these bearings deliver just that.
  • Enlarged ID Chamfers: Designed to fit performance crankshafts with larger fillet radii, ensuring compatibility with your upgraded setup.

As for the specs, they’re pretty solid:

  • Sizes available: STD, .025, .25, .50
  • Oil Clearance: Standard
  • Half Type: Upper & Lower
