What does 'standard size' mean for these bearings?

Standard size bearings are designed to fit crankshaft journals that are within the manufacturer's original specifications. If your crankshaft has been previously machined undersize due to wear or repair, you would need to order an undersize bearing set.

What is the advantage of tri-metal construction?

Tri-metal bearings use three layers of different materials, typically a steel backing for strength, a copper-lead alloy for load-carrying capacity, and a softer overlay like babbitt for conformability and embeddability. This combination offers a strong balance of durability and performance.

Do these bearings come with assembly lube?

This set includes the rod bearings themselves. It is highly recommended to use a quality engine assembly lubricant when installing these bearings to ensure proper lubrication during initial startup and break-in.

Product Details

ACL has been making engine bearings for decades, and this standard size high performance rod bearing set for your Chrysler 318, 340, or 360 engine is one of their staples. These bearings are built to handle more stress than stock, making them a solid choice if you're rebuilding an engine for performance use or just want a more durable replacement.

The key here is the material and construction. ACL uses a tri-metal material that offers excellent strength and wear resistance, which is crucial for the high loads experienced by rod bearings. They're designed with tighter tolerances than OEM bearings, helping to reduce oil clearance for better oil pressure and a more responsive engine, especially under load. This set is for standard size applications, meaning it's meant to be used with a crankshaft that hasn't been machined undersize.

When you're installing these, make sure your crankshaft journals are clean and within factory specifications for straightness and surface finish. It's also a good idea to check your oil pump's output to ensure it can keep up with the demands of a performance engine. These bearings are a critical component for engine longevity and performance, so getting them right is important.
