ACL Bearings 8B1288P-.00 Performance Connecting Rod Bearing Set

The ACL Bearings 8B1288P-.00 is a high-performance connecting rod bearing set from ACL's DuraGlide series, engineered to deliver reliable performance in demanding automotive applications. ACL bearings feature a trimetal design with a high-strength overlay plate and reduced thickness for improved fatigue resistance, backed by hardened steel for enhanced support and retention under extreme conditions.

Key Features:

• Hardened steel backs on rod bearings to improve support of the bearing lining and assist with bearing retention in the housing
• Manufactured to exacting tolerances with micron tolerance machining for consistent wall thickness and crush, ensuring reliable fit and consistent clearances
• Elimination of flash plating on the bearing backs to improve heat transfer and maximize grip between bearings and housing
• Increased eccentricity to compensate for bore distortion at high RPM and assist in the formation of hydrodynamic oil films
• Enlarged ID chamfers on bearing edges to accommodate large fillet radius on performance crankshafts
• Tight consistent wall tolerances to help maintain consistent clearances

ACL Race Series performance engine bearings are recognized as a premier brand throughout the motorsports world, with bearings used in engines that have set records and won championships from Mexico to Bonneville. This standard size bearing set is designed for precision engine rebuilds where OEM replacement or performance upgrade is required.
