ACL Mitsubishi 1597-1997CC 0.50mm Oversized Rod Bearing Set for Eclipse/Galant 1990-2012
$9.45

If you're serious about performance, you know the importance of solid engine bearings. The ACL Race Series Engine Bearings are crafted with a unique blend of design and metallurgy that really stands out in the world of high-performance parts. These bearings are built to handle the heat and stress of higher RPMs, making them a fantastic choice for any 4, 6, or 8-cylinder setup.

What sets these bearings apart?

  • The overlay plate is high-strength but reduced in thickness, which means better fatigue resistance when you're pushing your engine hard.
  • All rod bearings come with hardened steel backs. This isn't just for show; it helps keep the bearing lining in place and improves retention in the housing, so you don’t have to worry about them shifting around.
  • Increased crush helps with bearing retention, ensuring they stay put when you’re revving up.
  • We ditched the flash plating on the back of the bearings. This allows for better heat transfer, keeping things cool, and maximizes the grip between the bearings and their housing.
  • With increased eccentricity, these bearings can handle bore distortion at high RPMs and help form hydrodynamic oil films—essential for keeping everything lubricated and running smoothly.
  • The 3/4 grooved main bearings optimize oil flow to the conrod bearings, which is crucial for maintaining performance under pressure.
  • Consistent wall tolerances mean you can keep clearances tight, which is key for performance builds.
  • We’ve also included enlarged ID chamfers on the edges where necessary to fit those performance crankshafts with large fillet radii.
