Overview:

The ACL High Performance Rod Bearing Set is engineered to deliver exceptional durability and reliability for a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles equipped with HEMI V8 engines. Designed specifically for standard size connecting rods, this bearing set supports engines including the 5.7L HEMI, 6.1L HEMI ESF, 6.4L HEMI ESG/ESH, and the supercharged 6.2L HEMI SC variants such as Hellcat and Hellcat Redeye. Whether you are rebuilding your engine or upgrading for enhanced performance, these bearings provide the critical protection needed to withstand high loads and extended use.

Ideal for enthusiasts, professional rebuilders, and performance tuners, ACL rod bearings offer peace of mind by maintaining optimal oil clearance and reducing friction between the connecting rod and crankshaft. This ensures smooth engine operation and longevity under demanding conditions.

Key Features:

ACL rod bearings incorporate advanced materials and precision manufacturing to meet the rigorous demands of high-performance engines. Key features include:

• Engineered for standard size connecting rods in 5.7L, 6.1L, 6.2L, and 6.4L HEMI V8 engines
• Compatible with naturally aspirated and supercharged (SC) HEMI variants including Hellcat and Hellcat Redeye
• High-quality tri-metal construction for superior wear resistance and durability
• Optimized oil clearance to maintain proper lubrication and reduce friction
• Precision machined for exact fit and consistent performance
• Designed to withstand high RPM and increased power output typical of performance applications
• Corrosion-resistant coating to extend bearing life
• Manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications

Construction & Design:

ACL rod bearings are crafted using a tri-metal layering process that combines a steel backing with a durable overlay of copper-lead or aluminum alloy. This construction provides a strong foundation while offering excellent conformability and embeddability to protect the crankshaft journal from debris and wear. The bearings are precision ground to ensure uniform thickness and tight tolerances, which are critical for maintaining proper oil film and preventing metal-to-metal contact.

The advanced metallurgy and surface treatments enhance fatigue resistance and reduce the risk of premature failure, making these bearings suitable for both street-driven and high-performance engines. Their robust design supports the demanding conditions found in supercharged and naturally aspirated HEMI engines across multiple vehicle platforms.

Installation & Fitment:

This rod bearing set is designed for direct fitment on a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles from model years 2003 through 2025, covering popular models such as the Ram 1500, Magnum, Charger, Challenger, Chrysler 300, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Durango, Wrangler, and Grand Wagoneer. Installation requires standard engine rebuild procedures and should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper bearing clearance and torque specifications are met.

No modifications are necessary when replacing OEM bearings with this ACL set, making it a straightforward upgrade or replacement option during engine rebuilds or performance enhancements.

What's Included:

• Set of 8 standard size connecting rod bearings
• Installation instructions and specifications

Ideal For:

This ACL High Performance Rod Bearing Set is ideal for automotive enthusiasts, engine builders, and mechanics working on Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles equipped with HEMI V8 engines. It is especially suited for those seeking reliable, high-quality components to support engine rebuilds, performance upgrades, or maintenance of naturally aspirated and supercharged powerplants including Hellcat and Hellcat Redeye variants.
