What does it mean that these bearings are undersized?

An undersized bearing, like this 0.00025" set, is used when the crankshaft journals have been machined down to remove wear or damage. The undersize ensures the correct oil clearance is maintained between the bearing and the crankshaft, which is critical for proper lubrication and engine health.

What is the tri-metal overlay?

The tri-metal overlay is a layer of specialized materials applied to the bearing surface. It's designed to provide excellent strength, wear resistance, and conformability, allowing the bearing to handle high loads and maintain proper contact with the crankshaft, especially in demanding diesel applications.

Do these bearings come with assembly lube?

This set includes the connecting rod bearings only. It is recommended to use a quality engine assembly lubricant during installation to protect the bearing surfaces and ensure proper oil flow upon initial engine startup.

About this part

Product Details

ACL has been making engine bearings for decades, and this connecting rod bearing set for your 2015 Ford Transit-150 is one of their staples. These bearings are crucial for the Duratorq 3.2L diesel engine, providing a smooth surface for the connecting rods to rotate on within the crankshaft. When it's time to replace them, especially if you're rebuilding or have noticed signs of wear, a well-made set like this from ACL is a solid choice.

This particular set is undersized by 0.00025 inches, which is important if your crankshaft journals have been machined down during a rebuild. Using the correct undersize bearing ensures the proper oil clearance is maintained, which is vital for lubrication and preventing premature wear. ACL uses a tri-metal overlay material that's known for its strength and ability to handle the high loads found in diesel engines, helping to keep your engine running smoothly for miles to come.

When you're installing these bearings, make sure to follow the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications and oil clearance guidelines. It's also a good idea to use a quality assembly lube to protect the bearing surfaces during initial startup.
