What does 'undersize 0.020 inch' mean for these bearings?

This means the bearings are manufactured to be 0.020 inches smaller in diameter than standard bearings. They are designed to be used with a crankshaft that has also been machined down by 0.020 inches on its connecting rod journals during an engine rebuild.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

This product is sold as a set of connecting rod bearings. You will receive enough bearings to replace all the connecting rod bearings in your engine.

Do I need any special tools to install these bearings?

Installation of connecting rod bearings typically requires engine disassembly and reassembly. While the bearings themselves are a direct fit, you will need standard engine rebuilding tools and potentially a torque wrench to ensure proper installation according to manufacturer specifications.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding or refreshing a Ford V8 engine, especially the popular 4.6L or 5.4L modular engines found in Crown Victorias, F-150s, and Mustangs, the connecting rod bearings are critical. These ACL bearings are built to handle the stresses of daily driving and more demanding use. They are a direct replacement for your original equipment, ensuring a proper fit during installation.

ACL is known for making well-built engine components, and these bearings are no exception. They are manufactured to precise tolerances, which is important for maintaining the correct oil clearance between the connecting rod and the crankshaft. This set is undersized by 0.020 inches, meaning they are intended for use when the crankshaft journals have been machined down to match this size during an engine rebuild. Proper oil clearance is key to reducing friction and wear, helping your engine run smoothly and last longer.

If you're in the middle of an engine overhaul and have had your crankshaft journals turned, this set of ACL connecting rod bearings will be the perfect fit to get your engine back in top shape.
