ACL 1965-1968 Chevy V8 396/402/427/454 .20mm Oversized Trimetal Rod Bearing Set

ACL has been making engine bearings for decades, and this set for your Chevy V8 is one of their staples. These are trimetal rod bearings, meaning they have three layers of material for strength and durability. They're designed to handle the demands of performance engines, especially when you're rebuilding or upgrading. This particular set is .20mm undersize, which is important if your crankshaft journals have been ground down during a previous rebuild or repair. Using the correct undersize bearing ensures proper oil clearance and bearing function.

The trimetal construction is well-known for its ability to withstand higher loads and temperatures compared to older babbitt-style bearings. This makes them a solid choice for engines that see regular use or are built for more spirited driving. When you're putting an engine back together, getting the bearing clearances right is critical for longevity and performance. These ACL bearings are made to fit right and perform reliably, giving you peace of mind.

If you've already had your crankshaft journals machined undersize, this set is what you'll need. Always confirm the exact size of your crankshaft journals before ordering bearings to ensure you get the correct fitment and oil clearance. Proper installation according to the manufacturer's guidelines is key to getting the most out of these bearings.
