The ACL Bearings 8B663HN-STD is a high-performance narrowed connecting rod bearing set engineered for Chevrolet Small Block and LS engine applications. Part of ACL's Race Series lineup, these tri-metal bearings are specifically designed to withstand extreme high-RPM conditions and harsh operating environments found in racing and high-performance builds.
Key Features:
- Narrowed design accommodates large fillet radius performance crankshafts (typically 0.125" radius)
- High-strength overlay plate with reduced thickness for improved fatigue resistance
- Hardened steel backing on rod bearings for enhanced bearing retention and lining support
- Increased crush for superior bearing retention in the housing
- Increased eccentricity compensates for bore distortion at high RPM operation
- Elimination of flash plating on bearing backs improves heat transfer and maximizes grip
- Tight wall thickness tolerances ensure consistent clearances and reliable fit
- Enlarged ID chamfers accommodate large fillet radius on performance crankshafts
- Standard size bearing for 2.099-2.100" (53.315-53.340mm) crankshaft journals
