What is the main difference between Race Series and standard ACL bearings?

About this part

Product Details

Doing an engine rebuild on your Dodge Viper and need some stout connecting rod bearings? These Race Series bearings from ACL are built for the job. They're designed to handle the extra stress that comes with a performance engine, whether you're building a street machine or something for the track.

ACL uses a tri-metal overlay on these bearings, which is a popular choice for racing applications. This construction helps them withstand higher loads and temperatures compared to standard bearings. They're also a standard size, meaning they'll fit your stock crankshaft journals without needing any machining, which can save you time and money during your build. If you're running a modified V8 like the 318, 340, or 360 Chrysler engines, these bearings are a well-built choice to keep your rotating assembly happy.

When you're putting an engine back together, especially one that's going to see hard use, using reliable internal components is key. These ACL bearings are a popular option for a reason, offering a good balance of performance and durability for your Viper's engine.
