Construction & Design:
ACL rod bearings are constructed using advanced metallurgy and manufacturing techniques to deliver exceptional strength and durability. The bearing shells feature a multi-layer design that includes a steel backing for structural support, a copper-lead or tri-metal overlay for load carrying capacity, and a soft overlay layer to embed contaminants and prevent scoring. This combination ensures reliable performance even under high RPM and elevated temperatures.
The precise engineering of the bearing dimensions guarantees a tight clearance fit with the connecting rods and crankshaft journals, minimizing oil clearance while preventing metal-to-metal contact. This careful balance reduces friction and wear, contributing to improved engine efficiency and longevity.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the ACL Rod Bearing Set is straightforward for experienced mechanics and engine builders. The bearings are designed as direct replacements for the factory bearings in the FA20 engine, requiring no modifications to the connecting rods or crankshaft. Proper installation includes cleaning all mating surfaces, checking journal dimensions, and applying assembly lubricant to ensure smooth initial startup.
It is recommended to follow OEM torque specifications and procedures during reassembly to maintain engine reliability. This bearing set fits the following vehicles equipped with the FA20 engine:
- Toyota 86 (2017–2020)
