ACL Chevy 262/267/302/305/307/327/350 Race Series Std Size 18mm Wide Rod Bearing Set - CT-1 Coated

ACL has been making engine bearings for decades, and this Race Series rod bearing set for your Chevy V8 is one of their staples. These bearings are built for engines with displacements ranging from 262 cubic inches up to 350 cubic inches, covering a wide range of popular Chevy V8s. If you're rebuilding an engine for performance or just want a solid replacement for a worn-out set, these bearings are a well-built option. They feature an 18mm wide design, which is standard for many of these applications, and come with ACL's CT-1 coating for improved durability and reduced friction.

The CT-1 coating is a notable feature that helps these bearings perform better under demanding conditions. It's designed to provide a more consistent oil film between the bearing and the crankshaft journal, which is crucial for preventing wear, especially in higher-revving or harder-working engines. This coating also helps with initial break-in, making the process smoother and reducing the risk of damage. ACL uses a high-strength overlay material combined with a specialized backing to ensure these bearings can handle the stress of performance applications.

This set includes standard size bearings, meaning they are designed to fit a crankshaft with factory-spec journals. If your crankshaft has been machined, you'll need to ensure you order the correct undersize bearings. These are a popular choice for engine builders looking for reliable internal components that offer a step up from basic replacement parts without going to extreme custom measures. They fit a wide variety of classic American vehicles, from the DeTomaso Pantera to many Ford and Mercury models equipped with these Chevy V8 engines.
