This is the maximum load experienced by the bearing spread over its projected area. For this the engine builder will need to know peak cylinder pressures and balance these forces with the inertial load (acceleration of piston and conrod masses). Generally speaking ACL Race bearing materials and design allow a great deal of flexibility for upgrading engine performance having an excellent balance of strength and forgiveness. The trade-off is: high load = shorter life. ACL Race bearings work well in street machines, that are rarely used at max power but are expected to have a normal engine life, as well as in 'Top Fuel' Dragster engines where bearing loads are several hundred MPa but life is measured in seconds!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACL Bearings","offers":[{"title":"B16A, B18A\/B, B20 \/ Standard","offer_id":53239374381423,"sku":"ACL 4B1946HC-STD","price":75.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"B16A, B18A\/B, B20 \/ Extra Clearance +0.001","offer_id":53239374414191,"sku":"ACL 4B1946HXC-STD","price":75.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"B18C1\/5 \/ Standard","offer_id":53239374446959,"sku":"ACL 4B1925HC-STD","price":77.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"B18C1\/5 \/ Extra Clearance +0.001","offer_id":53239374479727,"sku":"ACL 4B1925HXC-STD","price":75.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"K20\\K24 \/ Standard","offer_id":53239374512495,"sku":"ACL 4B1972HC-STD","price":82.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"K20\\K24 \/ Extra Clearance +0.001","offer_id":53239374545263,"sku":"ACL 4B1972HXC-STD","price":82.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"D16Z6\\Y8 \/ Standard","offer_id":53239374578031,"sku":"ACL 4B1956HC-STD","price":71.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"D16Z6\\Y8 \/ Extra Clearance +0.001","offer_id":53239374610799,"sku":"ACL 4B1956HXC-STD","price":75.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"H22A1\\4 \/ Standard","offer_id":53239374643567,"sku":"ACL 4B1912HC-STD","price":70.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"H22A1\\4 \/ Extra Clearance +0.001","offer_id":53239374676335,"sku":"ACL 4B1912HXC-STD","price":75.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/5308\/8154\/products\/acl_bearings.jpg?v=1594269377","url":"https:\/\/www.speedfactoryracing.net\/products\/acl-race-rod-bearings-honda-acura-coated","provider":"SpeedFactoryRacing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
