ACL 4B8440HX-STD Rod Bearing Set

The ACL 4B8440HX-STD rod bearing set is engineered for those who demand reliability and performance from their engine components. Designed specifically for the Suzuki Grand Vitara from 1988 to 2017, these high-performance bearings utilize advanced metallurgy and design principles to ensure optimal operation under demanding conditions.

Key Features

  • High Strength Overlay Plate: Reduced thickness enhances fatigue properties, allowing for greater durability at higher RPMs.
  • Hardened Steel Backs: All rod bearings feature hardened steel backs, providing superior support for the bearing lining and enhancing retention within the housing.
  • Increased Crush: Improved bearing retention ensures stability during operation, minimizing the risk of failure.
  • Optimized Heat Transfer: The elimination of flash plating on the back of the bearings facilitates better heat dissipation, crucial for maintaining performance during intense driving conditions.
  • Enhanced Eccentricity: Designed to compensate for bore distortion at high RPMs, promoting the formation of hydrodynamic oil films for smooth operation.
  • 3/4 Grooved Main Bearings: This design maximizes the load-carrying surface area and improves oil flow to the connecting rod bearings.
  • Tight Wall Tolerances: Consistent wall tolerances help maintain precise clearances, essential for optimal engine performance.
  • Enlarged ID Chamfers: Accommodates larger fillet radii on performance crankshafts, enhancing fitment and reliability.
