Construction & Design:

ACL main bearings are crafted from premium-grade bearing alloys that provide excellent load-carrying capacity and resistance to deformation. The bearing shells feature a specialized overlay designed to reduce friction and prevent scoring under high RPM and load conditions. The extra oil clearance of .025mm (0.001") is engineered to optimize oil flow around the crankshaft journals, enhancing lubrication and reducing the risk of bearing failure during high-performance operation.

Each bearing is precision machined to ensure consistent thickness and roundness, guaranteeing a perfect fit within the engine block. This meticulous construction supports smooth crankshaft rotation and contributes to overall engine longevity.

Installation & Fitment:

The ACL High Performance Main Bearing Set is a direct replacement for the specified Chrysler and Dodge HEMI V8 engines and fits a broad range of models from 2003 through 2025. Installation requires standard engine rebuild procedures, including proper cleaning of bearing surfaces and careful measurement of crankshaft journal dimensions to confirm correct oil clearance.

These bearings are designed to work with factory components and do not require modifications, making them suitable for both professional engine builders and experienced DIY enthusiasts. Proper installation ensures optimal bearing performance and engine reliability.
