What does 'Tri-Metal' construction mean for these bearings?

Tri-metal bearings have multiple layers of different materials. This design combines properties like strength, wear resistance, and the ability to embed small debris, which helps protect your crankshaft and ensures long bearing life.

Do these bearings come with new hardware?

This set includes the connecting rod bearings only. You will need to reuse your original connecting rod bolts or replace them with new ones as specified by your vehicle's service manual.

When should I consider using standard size bearings?

Standard size bearings are used when your crankshaft journals are in good condition and have not been machined undersize. If your crankshaft has been repaired or shows significant wear, you may need bearings that are sized down (e.g., 0.010" or 0.020" undersize).

Product Details

Rebuilding the top end of an engine often means you're going to need new connecting rod bearings. These ACL Tri-Metal Connecting Rod Bearings are a solid option for many GM vehicles from the mid-2000s to early 2010s. They are designed to be a direct replacement for your original bearings, helping to ensure proper oil clearance and smooth operation of your crankshaft.

ACL has been making engine bearings for a long time, and these are built with a tri-metal construction. This means they have multiple layers of different materials, each chosen for specific properties like wear resistance and embeddability. This construction helps them handle the loads and temperatures found in an engine, providing a reliable surface for the crankshaft to spin against. Since these are standard size, they're meant to be installed on a crankshaft that hasn't been machined undersize.

When you're putting in new bearings, it's important to check your crankshaft for any damage or out-of-roundness. If the crank journals are worn or damaged, you might need to have them machined to a specific undersize, which would require different bearings. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for the correct installation procedures and torque specifications.
