ACL 1956-1998 Chrysler Prod V8 318/340/360 .40mm Oversized Trimetal Rod Bearing Set

Worn-out engine bearings can lead to serious internal damage, causing knocking noises and reduced oil pressure. These ACL 8B481P-40 trimetal rod bearings are designed for Chrysler Production V8 engines from 1956 to 1998, specifically for the 318, 340, and 360 cubic inch displacements. They are manufactured to be 0.040 inches oversized, which is crucial when rebuilding an engine with a crankshaft that has been machined down to compensate for wear.

ACL uses a trimetal construction, which is a well-built layering of materials that offers excellent strength and durability. This design helps to maintain consistent oil clearance, even under high loads and temperatures, which is vital for engine longevity. Because these bearings are precisely sized and manufactured, they help ensure proper oil flow and reduce friction within your engine's rotating assembly.

When rebuilding or repairing your Chrysler V8, using bearings that are the correct size for your crankshaft is essential. These .040 inch oversized bearings are a solid option if your crankshaft has been turned to that specific size. Always refer to your engine's service manual for the correct bearing size and installation procedures.
