What is the main function of connecting rod bearings?

Connecting rod bearings sit between the crankshaft and the connecting rod. Their main job is to maintain a thin film of oil that prevents metal-on-metal contact, reducing friction and wear during engine operation.

What material is used for these ACL bearings?

These ACL bearings utilize a specialized overlay material known for its strength and ability to withstand the high pressures found in an engine's rotating assembly.

Do I need to replace all connecting rod bearings at once?

Yes, it is standard practice to replace all connecting rod bearings as a set when performing engine work. This ensures consistent oil clearance and wear across all rods.
