ACL Race tri-metal rod bearings are designed for operation at higher RPM and the demands of high-performance engines. Their construction combines design, metallurgy and engineering for consistent bearing performance.
This rod bearing set includes ACL Race Series components with the part numbers 1B1606H-STD and 4B1606H-STD.
- High-strength overlay plate with reduced thickness for improved fatigue properties.
- Hardened steel backs on all rod bearings to improve support of the bearing lining and retention in the housing.
- Increased crush for improved bearing retention in the housing.
- Increased eccentricity to compensate for bore distortion at high RPM and assist in forming hydrodynamic oil films.
- Tight, consistent wall tolerances to help maintain consistent clearances.
- Rod bearing set containing 1B1606H-STD and 4B1606H-STD.

Sizes
STD is the standard size for an unground crankshaft. Undersizes (−0.25 mm, −0.50 mm …) are for a reground crank, and “+0.025 mm clearance” (X) is for highly stressed engines. Your machine shop chooses the size after measuring.
