Construction & Design:
ACL main bearings are constructed using a tri-metal layering process that combines a steel backing with a durable copper-lead alloy and a soft overlay. This design provides excellent conformability and embedability, allowing the bearing to adapt to minor imperfections in the crankshaft surface while protecting it from damage. The materials used ensure high fatigue resistance and long service life, even under the stresses of high-performance operation.
Each bearing is precision machined to maintain tight tolerances, ensuring optimal oil film thickness and minimizing metal-to-metal contact. The standard size configuration matches factory dimensions, making installation straightforward without the need for additional machining or modifications.
Installation & Fitment:
This ACL main bearing set is a direct fit for the FA20 engine in the specified Toyota 86, Subaru BRZ, and Toyota GR86 model years. Installation requires standard engine rebuild procedures, including proper cleaning of bearing surfaces and verification of crankshaft journal dimensions. No modifications are necessary when replacing worn or damaged bearings with this set.
For best results, it is recommended to inspect the crankshaft journals for wear or damage before installation and to use appropriate assembly lubricants during the rebuild process. Professional installation is advised to ensure correct bearing clearance and engine reliability.
