What does 'extra oil clearance' mean for my engine?

Extra oil clearance means there's a slightly larger gap between the rod bearing and the crankshaft journal. This allows for a thicker oil film, which is beneficial for high-performance engines that generate more heat and stress, helping to prevent metal-on-metal contact and wear.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

While these bearings are designed for high-performance applications, they can also be used in a stock rebuild, especially if you want added peace of mind regarding lubrication. The extra oil clearance and coating offer enhanced protection.

Do these bearings come with new bolts?

This set includes the rod bearings only. New rod bolts are typically recommended when rebuilding an engine, as they can stretch during installation and are often single-use items. You will need to source those separately.

Product Details

Doing an engine rebuild on your 1990-2001 Acura Integra, or maybe a Honda Accord (1984-1985), CR-V (1997-2001), or Prelude (1988-1990)? If you're looking to get the most out of your engine, especially if you're pushing it a bit harder than stock, a set of high-performance rod bearings like these from ACL is a smart move. These bearings are designed with extra oil clearance, which is crucial for keeping things cool and lubricated when the engine is working hard.

ACL has been making engine bearings for a long time, and these are well-built for performance applications. The extra oil clearance helps ensure that even under high RPMs or increased load, your crankshaft and connecting rods have a consistent film of oil between them. This helps prevent premature wear and potential engine damage. They also feature a coating that aids in initial break-in and provides an extra layer of protection.

When you're putting an engine back together, especially one that's been rebuilt or modified, using reliable bearings is key. These ACL bearings are a solid option for ensuring the health and longevity of your engine's bottom end.
