ACL Chevrolet V8 305-350-400 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 engines that see a lot of action, whether it's on the track or just a spirited drive. They're designed to handle the increased loads and stresses that come with performance applications, helping to keep your engine running smoothly when you push it hard.

What sets these apart is their construction. They use a tri-metal material that's known for its strength and ability to withstand high pressures. The oil clearance is set to a tighter specification, which is ideal for performance builds where oil pressure is carefully managed. This helps ensure a consistent film of oil between the bearing and the crankshaft, reducing wear and heat. If you're rebuilding a performance V8 like a 305, 350, or 400 small block, or even some of the LS-based engines, these bearings are a solid choice for reliability under demanding conditions.

When you're installing these, make sure your crankshaft journals are clean and within factory specifications for roundness and taper. It's also a good idea to check your oil pump and oil cooler to ensure they're up to the task of supplying enough oil pressure for these tighter-tolerance bearings.
