What does '.010 Oversized' mean for these rod bearings?

This means the bearings are manufactured to be 0.010 inches larger in diameter than standard size. This is necessary when the crankshaft journals have been machined undersize during a previous rebuild or to account for wear.

What is the benefit of the CT-1 coating?

The CT-1 coating is applied to help reduce friction between the bearing and the crankshaft journal. This can lead to improved durability and a longer service life for the bearings, especially under demanding conditions.

Do these bearings come with installation instructions?

While these bearings are designed as a direct fit for compatible engines, specific installation procedures and torque specifications should always be obtained from your vehicle's service manual. Proper installation is critical for engine longevity.

About this part

Product Details

Rebuilding the engine in your classic Ford or Mercury? These ACL rod bearings are a solid option for your 221, 255, 260, 289, 302, or 5.0L Windsor V8. They're designed to fit many popular models from the early 60s through the late 60s, ensuring a proper fit for your project. Rod bearings are critical for keeping your crankshaft spinning smoothly within the connecting rods, and a fresh set is essential for any engine rebuild.

These bearings come .010 inch oversized, which is important if your crankshaft journals have been ground down during a previous rebuild or to correct wear. The CT-1 coating is a notable feature that helps reduce friction and improve the bearing's lifespan, especially in high-performance or heavy-duty applications. ACL is a well-known name in engine bearings, and this set is a well-built component for your engine's bottom end.

This set includes rod bearings for your engine. Always refer to your vehicle's specific service manual for detailed installation procedures and torque specifications when rebuilding your engine.
