Alright, let’s talk about the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings. If you’re into pushing your engine to its limits, these bearings are designed with that in mind. They’re built for those higher RPMs that make your heart race, and trust me, they deliver. Whether you've got a 4, 6, or 8-cylinder setup, there’s a good chance these bearings are ready to roll with you.

What Makes Them Stand Out?

• First off, the overlay plate is high strength but thinner, which means they handle fatigue better. You won’t have to worry about them giving out when you really put the pedal down.
• All rod bearings come with hardened steel backs. This isn’t just for show; it helps keep the lining in place and makes sure they stay snug in their housing.
• They’ve cranked up the crush to keep everything tight, so you can count on solid bearing retention. No one wants to deal with loose bearings when they’re trying to hit that sweet spot on the track.
• Forget about flash plating on the back. This design choice improves heat transfer and ensures a solid grip between the bearings and the housing. Heat management is key when you’re revving high.
• With increased eccentricity, these bearings are designed to handle bore distortion at high RPMs. They help form those hydrodynamic oil films that keep everything lubricated and running smoothly.
• The 3/4 grooved main bearings are a nice touch, optimizing the load-carrying surface area and ensuring oil flows efficiently to the conrod bearings. You want that oil flowing when you’re pushing hard.
• Tight wall tolerances mean you can maintain consistent clearances, which is crucial for performance setups. You need precision, and these bearings deliver.
• And if you’re running performance crankshafts, the enlarged ID chamfers on the bearing edges are designed to accommodate those larger fillet radii. No more worrying about fitment issues here.

Durability You Can Trust

• NDC has a solid reputation for creating quality bearings that resist abrasion, handle loads, endure impacts, and withstand heat. These are built to last.
• You’ve got options for standard (.000") and oversized (.020") to fit your specific needs.

Fitment Details

These bearings are a perfect match for the Toyota Celica from 1982 to 2005, specifically the 4B2980-1.00 ACL Toyota 4 1994cc 5R 1.0 Oversized Rod Bearing Set. If you’re working on a build with this model, you’re in luck.

In short, if you’re serious about performance and want bearings that can take the heat, the ACL Race Series is worth considering. They’re not just another part; they’re a piece of the puzzle that can help you get the most out of your engine.
