Product Information

S65 V8's have been known to have rod bearing wear issues. There doesn't seem to be a trend as to when rod bearing failure occurs as some engines go without having issues while others indicate rod bearing issues relatively quickly. This complete connecting rod bearing set from ACL is a high performance alternative to the standard connecting rod bearings offered by BMW. This set of connecting rod bearings is designed to offer maximum performance with additional built-in bearing clearance up to .025mm (.001") to help reduce bearing wear while maintaining the needed tolerances for proper engine running.

Questions about the appearance of the ACL RACE Series performance engine bearings are quite common, as this series of trimetal copper lead bearings have a very different appearance to regular after market “ACL Duraglide” trimetal bearings, which have a light silver/ grey appearance.

The ACL RACE Series performance engine bearing as manufactured have an appearance that is dark tarnished colouration, which can vary from dark black/brown/blue colours. This colour comes from the electroplated overlay that has copper as one part of its composition, which tarnishes to the dark colours described above. This tarnish colouration has negligible thickness and has no influence on bearing operation.

ACL RACE Series performance engine bearings do not start out with the silver grey appearance of regular after market bearings, as there is no final silvery tin flash applied to these bearings. Not applying a silvery tin flash to these high performance bearings is a specific design feature. A silvery tin flash for appearance and long term corrosion protection, as applied to the regular after market bearings, can under high loading and heat, move, with the plate migrating and causing high spots on the back of the shells and distorting the bearing. For this reason the ACL RACE Series performance engine bearings do not have a cosmetic silvery tin flash applied, so there is no risk of any overlay plate movement on the backs of the shells, giving better bearing to housing contact and better bearing performance and function.

Questions & Answers

Ask a question
Question Posted by Joshua
To run these bearing does my crank have to be machined or can I use these bearings on factory crank shaft?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
These can be used on a factory-size crankshaft as long as the crank journals are still within spec and are not worn, scored, tapered, or out-of-round. The “STD” sizing means standard crank journal size, while “HX” indicates ACL’s extra oil-clearance version, not a machined-crank undersize bearing. We strongly recommend measuring bearing clearance during assembly to confirm the setup is correct before running the engine.
Question Posted by Patrick
If I need to replace my connecting rod bearings for all 8-cyls., do I only need to order 1-set?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
This sold as a complete set of 16 ACL bearings which includes 8 uppers and 8 lowers. Only 1 set is needed to be purchased for the S65 M3 engine.
