In the connecting rod bearings, the surface layer is thinner to better withstand fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRace Series bearings have more housing interference and a slightly more eccentric shape than standard bearings, two details designed to ensure the bearing does not move and remains well-lubricated when the block and connecting rod deform under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn standard size, ACL specifies them for a connecting rod journal of 51.954 to 51.972 mm, with a bearing width of 17.0 mm. For this diameter, they recommend an oil clearance of approximately 0.055 to 0.065 mm, measured with a micrometer and bore gauge. If the crankshaft has been reground, the measurement changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey do not have the silver-tin final plating of standard bearings, so their dark color—ranging between brown, black, and bluish—is the factory finish and does not indicate any defect. ACL advises against polishing the bearing surface to adjust clearance; if more is needed, they should be combined with the HX version, which provides 0.025 mm of additional clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the crankshaft has been reground or if you are unsure of the required size, please write to us with your engine code before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50813087744334,"sku":"ACL-4B1236H\/74","price":69.87,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/7329\/0062\/files\/acl-rod-bearings_d8e3a695-5ad0-4d09-a948-ac5e2b664004.jpg?v=1735903780","url":"https:\/\/driftandgrip.com\/en\/products\/acl-trimetal-reinforced-rod-bearings-mitsubishi-evo-x-4b11t","provider":"Drift \u0026 Grip","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
