ACL Chevrolet V8 265-283-302-327 Race Series Engine Connecting Rod Bearing Set

ACL has been making engine bearings for decades, and this Race Series connecting rod bearing set for your Chevrolet V8 is one of their staples. These bearings are built for performance applications where tighter tolerances and improved oil clearance are critical for engine longevity under stress. They feature a high-performance overlay and a strong steel-backed structure to handle the demands of racing or high-output street engines.

The Race Series bearings are designed with a slightly larger oil clearance than standard bearings. This helps to reduce oil film breakdown and improve lubrication flow, which is crucial for keeping high-performance engines cool and preventing damage. The shell design is also optimized for strength and precise fitment within the connecting rod and crankshaft journals. When you're building a performance V8, getting the bearing specs right is key, and ACL offers a well-built option that's popular with engine builders.

This set is for standard (STD) size crankshaft journals. If your crankshaft has been machined, you'll need to check the journal size and order the appropriate undersize bearings. Always refer to your engine's service manual for specific installation procedures and torque specifications.
