If you're diving into the world of performance engines, you know that the right bearings can make all the difference. These ACL Race Series Engine Bearings are built for those who push their engines to the limit. With a unique blend of design and metallurgy, they’re crafted to handle the high RPMs that come with serious driving. Whether you're running a 4, 6, or 8-cylinder setup, these bearings are ready to take the heat.

What Makes These Bearings Stand Out?

  • High Strength Overlay: The overlay plate is thinner but tougher, which means better fatigue resistance. You want your bearings to last, and this design helps with that.
  • Hardened Steel Backs: Each rod bearing comes with hardened steel backs. This feature not only supports the bearing lining but also keeps them secure in their housing. No one wants a bearing that slips.
  • Increased Crush: More crush means better retention, so you can trust these bearings to stay put even when the engine's roaring.
  • Heat Transfer: They’ve ditched the flash plating on the back, which helps heat dissipate better. This means cooler bearings and better performance.
  • Eccentricity for High RPMs: Increased eccentricity helps tackle bore distortion at high speeds and aids in forming those all-important hydrodynamic oil films.
  • 3/4 Grooved Main Bearings: These are designed to optimize the load-carrying surface area and oil flow to the conrod bearings. More oil flow means better lubrication.
  • Tight Tolerances: Consistent wall tolerances keep your clearances in check, which is crucial for performance engines.
  • Enlarged ID Chamfers: The edges are chamfered to accommodate larger fillet radii on performance crankshafts. A small detail that makes a big difference.
