ACL Rod Bearing Set for Subaru EJ20/EJ22/EJ25 0.50mm Oversized 52mm Journal Size
$10.95

If you’re pushing your ride to the limits, you need engine bearings that can keep up. That’s where the ACL Race Series Engine Bearings come into play. These aren’t just any bearings; they’re crafted with a unique blend of design, metallurgy, and engineering that really delivers on performance. Whether you’re revving up a 4, 6, or 8-cylinder engine, these bearings are built to handle the higher RPMs without breaking a sweat.

What sets these bearings apart? For starters, the high-strength overlay plate is thinner, which means better fatigue resistance. You’ll appreciate that when you’re pushing your engine hard. The hardened steel backs on the rod bearings provide solid support for the bearing lining, ensuring they stay put in the housing, even under intense conditions.

And let’s talk retention. With increased crush, these bearings grip better, which is crucial when you’re dealing with the stress of high RPMs. They’ve also eliminated flash plating on the back, which helps with heat transfer—keeping things cooler when the engine’s running hot. Plus, the increased eccentricity helps counteract any bore distortion, allowing for smoother hydrodynamic oil films. That’s some serious engineering right there.

These bearings come with 3/4 grooved main bearings, optimizing the load-carrying surface area and enhancing oil flow to the conrod bearings. Consistency is key, and the tight wall tolerances help maintain those clearances you need for peak performance. And if you’re using performance crankshafts, the enlarged ID chamfers on the edges are designed to accommodate larger fillet radii, making installation a breeze.

Now, for the nitty-gritty specs: you can get these bearings in sizes like STD, .025, .25, and .50. They offer standard oil clearance and come as identical halves made from tri-metal hardened steel backs. The minimum standard shaft size is 2.0466 inches, with a maximum of 2.0472 inches. The tunnel sizes range from 2.1654 inches to 2.1661 inches, and the max wall at the crown is 0.0591 inches. Overall, they’re 0.6496 inches long. Pretty solid, right?

These bearings fit a range of applications, including the Subaru Legacy from 1990 to 2017, specifically for the EJ20, EJ22, and EJ25 with a 52mm journal size. If you’re looking to upgrade and push your engine’s performance, these ACL Race Series Engine Bearings are definitely worth considering.
