What is the main difference between Race Series and standard ACL bearings?

ACL's Race Series bearings feature a tri-metal construction that offers increased strength and load capacity compared to standard bearings. This makes them a solid choice for performance applications where engines are run harder and at higher RPMs.

Do these bearings come with a specific clearance specification?

This is a standard size (STD) bearing set. For optimal performance and engine longevity, always refer to the specific engine build manual or manufacturer's specifications for recommended bearing clearance when installing.

What is the typical application for these bearings?

These bearings are intended for performance and racing applications. They are designed to handle the increased stress and higher RPMs often found in rebuilt or modified Chevrolet V8 engines from the 265 to 327 cubic inch range.

About this part

Product Details

Rebuilding the top end of your classic Chevrolet V8? If you're working on a 265, 283, 302, or 327 cubic inch engine, you'll want to make sure your connecting rod bearings are in top shape. This Race Series set from ACL is built for performance applications where reliability is key.

ACL has been making engine bearings for a long time, and their Race Series bearings are a popular choice for builders who push their engines. They use a tri-metal construction that's known for its strength and ability to handle higher loads and RPMs. This means they can stand up to the demands of a performance build, whether it's for a street car or a weekend racer. The standard size means they're designed to fit perfectly onto a stock or freshly machined crankshaft journal without needing any special modifications.

When you're putting an engine back together, especially one that's going to see some hard use, using well-built internal components like these bearings is crucial. Make sure your crankshaft journals are clean and within factory specifications before installation. If you've had your crankshaft ground, ensure it's within the specified tolerances for standard-sized bearings.
