What is the difference between standard size and undersize bearings?

Standard size bearings are meant for a crankshaft that is still at its original factory dimensions. If your crankshaft has been machined undersize due to wear or damage, you will need to order bearings that are machined to match that specific undersize to ensure proper clearance.

What is the ACL Race Series designation?

The 'Race Series' designation from ACL indicates that these bearings are built with materials and construction methods intended to withstand higher performance demands, such as increased horsepower, higher RPMs, and more aggressive oiling conditions often found in racing or heavily modified engines.

What is the best practice for installing engine bearings?

Engine bearing installation requires extreme cleanliness. Ensure both the crankshaft journals and the bearing surfaces are meticulously clean. Use a quality assembly lube on the bearings and crankshaft before installation, and always torque connecting rod bolts to the manufacturer's specified values.

About this part

Product Details

ACL has been making engine bearings for a long time, and this Race Series set uses a well-built overlay material that's known for its strength and durability. The standard size means they're intended for use with a crankshaft that's still within factory specifications. If your crankshaft has been machined, you'll need to check the specific undersize required before ordering.

This set includes bearings for all the connecting rods in your Chrysler 318, 340, or 360 cubic inch V8. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully, including proper cleaning of the crankshaft and connecting rods, and using the correct torque specifications during assembly. Cleanliness is absolutely paramount when installing engine bearings.
