ACL Extra Clearance Rod Bearings for High-Performance VW/Audi

For high-RPM engine builds, increasing oil clearance is often necessary to ensure adequate lubrication and cooling. This ACL Race Series extra clearance rod bearing set is specifically designed for 1781cc and 1984cc VW/Audi engines that see high-stress environments. These bearings provide the slightly larger oil gap required to maintain a healthy oil film at sustained high speeds.

Why Choose Extra Clearance?

• Optimized Oil Flow: Extra clearance allows for better oil circulation, critical for high-RPM operation.
• Race-Proven Reliability: Built to handle the extreme heat and pressure of performance driving.
• Standard Size: Designed for standard crankshaft journals but with engineered extra clearance.
• Broad Fitment: Compatible with a wide array of VW and Audi models, including the A4, TT, and Golf.

Choosing the correct bearing clearance is a vital step in engine assembly. If your build involves high boost, high compression, or extended high-RPM use, these extra clearance bearings from ACL provide the necessary buffer to prevent bearing seizure and crankshaft damage. They are manufactured to the same high standards as the standard ACL Race series, ensuring perfect fitment and long-lasting durability. Don't let oil starvation ruin your hard work; equip your engine with the right tools for the job. Find all your high-performance engine components at GGCRACING.
