ACL 4B1609H-.25 Performance Rod Bearing Set

The ACL 4B1609H-.25 Performance Rod Bearing Set is engineered for automotive applications that demand high durability and performance. These trimetal engine bearings are specifically designed to endure the rigors of higher RPM conditions, making them an ideal choice for performance builds.

Key Features

  • High-Strength Overlay Plate: Features a reduced thickness that enhances fatigue resistance, ensuring longevity under extreme conditions.

  • Improved Heat Transfer: The elimination of flash plating on the back of the bearings allows for enhanced heat dissipation, which is critical for maintaining performance during high-stress situations.
  • Enhanced Eccentricity: Designed to compensate for bore distortion at high RPM, facilitating the formation of hydrodynamic oil films that reduce friction and wear.
  • 3/4 Grooved Main Bearings: Increases load-carrying surface area and optimizes oil flow to the connecting rod bearings, ensuring adequate lubrication.
