What is the primary function of connecting rod bearings?

Connecting rod bearings sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft. Their main job is to reduce friction and wear in this critical rotating assembly, allowing the crankshaft to spin smoothly within the rods.

What material are these ACL bearings made from?

ACL uses a specialized overlay material in these bearings. This construction is chosen to handle the high pressures and temperatures typical of larger displacement V8 engines, helping to maintain oil film support.

Do these bearings come with installation hardware?

This product is a set of connecting rod bearings only. Installation hardware, such as new rod bolts, is typically sold separately and should be replaced when rebuilding an engine.
