ACL 71-92 Mitsubishi 1597-1997CC Standard Size Rod Bearing Set

When you're rebuilding or refreshing the engine in your 1989-1991 Hyundai Sonata, getting the bearing clearances just right is critical. These standard size rod bearings from ACL are made to precise specifications to help you achieve that. They are designed to fit engines with displacements between 1597cc and 1997cc, which covers the Sonata models from those years.

ACL has been making engine bearings for a long time, and they're known for their well-built components. These bearings use a tri-metal construction, which is a common and effective design for handling the loads and heat inside an engine. The standard size means they're meant to be used with a crankshaft that hasn't been machined undersize, ensuring you get the correct oil clearance right out of the box. Getting the oil clearance correct is key to engine longevity, as it allows oil to properly lubricate the connecting rod and crankshaft journal.

If you're doing a full engine rebuild, remember to check your crankshaft journals for any wear or damage and ensure they are within the manufacturer's specifications before installing new bearings. Having the right oil clearance helps protect your engine from premature wear.
