Matched Shells

This ACL custom bearing kit uses mix and matched sets of various ACL specs to achieve the target clearances.

Lead & Copper Trimetal

The ACL bearings are also made using the original 088/089 tri-metal lead and copper composition known for being softer on your crankshaft.

Made for your V8.

The bearings have S65 specific tabs in the design to align & secure with your connecting rods.

Custom ARP-2000 bolts

Offering a step up in strength over OEM and a simplified installation procedures, these bolts are custom machined to fit the S85 connecting rods.

Closer than it appears.

After a decade on BMW M groups and forums, I've found the rod bearing dilemma to be excessively religious in nature.

I trust in science.

In this entry, I document my rod bearing service on my original S65B40 engine.

I link to fundamentals on bearings, echo the rational for my bearing & bolts selection from my previous V10 experience and cover the plethora of signature pictures of the original bearings.

Enjoy,
- Matt / @m3_epoustouflant
