ACL **Coated** Chevrolet V8 265-283-302-327 Race Series Engine Connecting Rod Bearing Set

When you're rebuilding a Chevrolet V8 engine, especially one destined for performance use, the connecting rod bearings are critical. ACL's Race Series bearings are built with a high-strength overlay and a specialized coating designed to reduce friction and wear, even under demanding conditions. This particular set, part number 8B745HC-010, is 0.010 inch undersize, which is important for ensuring a proper fit on crankshafts that have been machined or reground to that specification.

These bearings feature a tri-metal construction, which is well-known for its ability to handle high loads and provide excellent embeddability, meaning small debris particles can be absorbed without causing damage. The added coating on these Race Series bearings offers an extra layer of protection and improved initial break-in, helping to seat them properly against the crankshaft journal. They are designed for Chevrolet V8 engines displacing 265, 283, 302, and 327 cubic inches, commonly found in a wide range of classic Bowtie vehicles from the mid-50s through the late 60s.

If your crankshaft has been machined to a 0.010 inch undersize, this ACL bearing set is what you'll need to achieve the correct oil clearance. It's always a good idea to double-check your crankshaft's dimensions before ordering to ensure you get the right size bearing for optimal engine performance and longevity.
