ACL 1962-1998 Ford Prod V8 255/289/302 .10mm Oversized Trimetal Rod Bearing Set

Worn-out rod bearings can lead to serious engine damage, causing knocking noises and eventually engine failure. This ACL Trimetal Rod Bearing Set is designed to replace those worn components in your Ford V8 engine, helping to restore proper oil clearance and protect your crankshaft. These bearings are .10mm oversized, meaning they are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by .10mm to remove wear or damage.

ACL uses a Trimetal construction for these bearings, which is a well-known standard for performance and durability in many engines. This construction typically involves a steel backing for strength, a copper-lead alloy for heat dissipation and embeddability, and a nickel plating for improved oil retention. This combination helps ensure consistent oil film between the bearing and the crankshaft, reducing friction and wear under various operating conditions. They fit a wide range of Ford V8 engines from the 255, 289, and 302 cubic inch displacements, covering many years of Mustang and other Ford vehicles.

When rebuilding or repairing your engine, using the correct size bearings is crucial. These .10mm oversized bearings are specifically for crankshafts that have been turned down to this dimension. Always ensure your crankshaft journals are measured accurately and match the bearing size needed for optimal engine health and longevity. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for detailed installation procedures and torque specifications.
