ACL 4B2903H-STD High Performance Rod Bearing Set

The ACL 4B2903H-STD Rod Bearing Set is engineered for those who demand reliability and performance from their Mini Cooper's engine. This set is designed specifically for the Mini Cooper models produced between 2001 and 2018, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance.

Key Features

  • Tri-metal Construction: Each bearing features a high-strength overlay plate with reduced thickness, enhancing fatigue resistance during high RPM conditions.
  • Hardened Steel Backs: The hardened steel backs improve support for the bearing lining and enhance retention within the housing, crucial for high-performance applications.
  • Improved Bearing Retention: Increased crush enhances bearing retention, ensuring stability and performance under varied driving conditions.
  • Optimized Heat Transfer: The elimination of flash plating on the back of the bearings facilitates better heat dissipation and maximizes grip between the bearings and their housing.
  • Enhanced Eccentricity: Designed to compensate for bore distortion at high RPM and to assist in hydrodynamic oil film formation, ensuring consistent lubrication.
  • 3/4 Grooved Design: The main bearings are designed to optimize load-carrying surface area and enhance oil flow to the connecting rod bearings.
  • Precision Tolerances: Tight wall tolerances help maintain consistent clearances, crucial for performance applications.
  • Enlarged ID Chamfers: Chamfers on bearing edges accommodate large fillet radii on performance crankshafts, enhancing compatibility with upgraded components.
