ACL Aluglide Rod Bearings
These ACL Aluglide bearings are made from an aluminium-tin-silicon metal alloy and are of the same quality as the OEM parts. They are particularly recommended when rebuilding a stock engine.
To help engine builders optimise clearances for their specific applications, ACL provides a range of different bearing sizes for standard crankshaft journal sizes :
- STD: Bearing thickness is precision finished to provide a nominal clearance based on OEM specifications. Suitable for all applications using crankshafts finished to OEM specifications.
- 001 / .025: Providing a reduction of .001" (0.025mm) of clearance over the STD size bearings. Suitable for adjusting clearance to compensate for surface reconditioning (polishing) of crankshaft journals or the use of low viscosity lubricants.

Designed to withstand high RPM, temperatures and load, these high strength bearings are manufactured by ACL from 3 layers of hardened steel, copper and nickel. This "trimetal" composition substantially lowers friction, and thus reduces the operating temperatures while providing superior lubrication.
