In connecting rod bearings, the overlay is thinner to better withstand fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eACL manufactures them with more \"crush\" (housing interference) than standard bearings to ensure they remain securely seated and dissipate heat better, as well as with more eccentricity, which helps maintain the oil film when the housing deforms at high RPMs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn standard size, ACL specifies them for a connecting rod journal of 43.965 to 43.980 mm, with a bearing width of 17.75 mm. For this diameter, they recommend an oil clearance of approximately 0.048 to 0.057 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 final silver tin plating of standard bearings, so their dark, brownish-black and bluish color is factory-standard and does not indicate any defect. ACL advises against polishing the bearing surface to adjust clearance; if more clearance is needed, they should be paired with the HX version, which provides an additional 0.025 mm of clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, confirm your crankshaft measurement (standard or reground); if you have any questions, email us with your engine code.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50813138207054,"sku":"4B7906H-STD","price":99.81,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/7329\/0062\/files\/2f5bc9a4914b4553eba79b67f316454a.jpg?v=1735904080","url":"https:\/\/driftandgrip.com\/en\/products\/acl-trimetal-reinforced-rod-bearings-renault-5-turbo-gt-turbo","provider":"Drift \u0026 Grip","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
