ACL

Building an engine that needs to handle more power? ACL makes engine bearings for both standard engine rebuilds and performance builds. Here you’ll find main bearings, rod bearings, thrust bearings and cam bearings, including ACL Race Series, developed for engines with higher revs and bigger loads.

Australian engine bearing specialist

ACL is an Australian brand known for engine bearings. The brand supplies bearings for a wide range of engines, from everyday passenger car engines to popular performance engines from Japanese, European and American manufacturers. ACL offers both a range for standard rebuilds and the Race Series for engines that need to handle more boost, higher revs and harder use. The focus is on bearings with the right tolerances and materials, so the engine gets a stable oil film and a long life.

ACL’s key products

Main and rod bearings are the core of the range. They carry the crankshaft and connecting rods and are crucial for engine durability, especially when power is increased. ACL Race Series bearings are developed for performance engines and are often available in several sizes, so the engine builder can hit the desired bearing clearance. The range also includes thrust bearings and cam bearings, as well as oversize bearings for crankshafts that have been reground. See each product for the engines and sizes it fits.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between ACL standard bearings and Race Series?

The standard bearings are intended for normal engine rebuilds. The Race Series is developed for engines with more power, higher revs or turbocharging, where the bearings are subjected to greater loads. The choice depends on how the engine will be used.

How do I choose the right bearing size?

It depends on the crankshaft dimensions and the bearing clearance the engine needs. If the crankshaft has been reground, oversize bearings are required. It’s a good idea to have an engine builder measure the crank and bearing bores before you order.

How do I know if a part fits my car?
