What is the main function of rod bearings?

Rod bearings sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft. Their main job is to reduce friction and wear in this critical rotating assembly, allowing the crankshaft to spin smoothly within the connecting rod.

Why is it important to use standard size bearings?

Standard size bearings are used when the crankshaft journals are still within the manufacturer's original specifications. If your crankshaft has been machined undersize due to wear or damage, you would need to use undersize bearings instead.

What else might I need when replacing rod bearings?

When replacing rod bearings, it's essential to have the crankshaft journals clean and within spec. You'll also need assembly lube to properly coat the bearings and journals before installation to ensure adequate lubrication on initial startup.

About this part

Product Details

Already running a built 3.6L HFV6 engine? These ACL standard size rod bearings are the next piece of the puzzle. They sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft, helping to reduce friction and wear in your engine. When you're pushing your engine harder, or if you're rebuilding one, replacing these bearings is a critical step to ensure long-term reliability.

ACL has been making engine bearings for a long time, and these are well-built for the job. They're made to the original equipment specifications, so they fit right in place of your old ones. Because they're standard size, you'll use them when your crankshaft journals are still within factory tolerances. If you've already had your crankshaft measured and it's within spec, these are the bearings you'll want.

When you're putting an engine back together, especially one that's been modified or is getting a refresh, using good bearings is key. Make sure your crankshaft journals are clean and properly lubricated before installing these.
