What is the CT-1 coating on these bearings?

The CT-1 coating is applied to help reduce friction between the bearing and the crankshaft journal. It also aids in oil retention, which is important for keeping the bearings properly lubricated, especially under high-performance conditions.

Are these bearings suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

Yes, these are standard size bearings, which means they are intended for use with a crankshaft that is at its original factory specification. If your crankshaft has been machined, you'll need to verify the journal size matches 'standard'.

What other parts are typically needed for a main bearing installation?

When replacing main bearings, it's common practice to also inspect and potentially replace the crankshaft thrust bearing, oil pump, and oil pickup tube. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for a complete list of recommended parts and procedures.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding a Ford V8 with a 370, 429, or 460 engine, getting the main bearings right is crucial for long-term health. These ACL race main bearings are built to handle the demands of performance builds. They come in a standard size, meaning they're meant to be used with a factory-spec crankshaft or one that's been machined back to standard.

This set includes all the main bearings you'll need for your engine rebuild.
