What information do I need to match these pistons to my engine?
You need the engine code, bore size, stroke, rod length, pin diameter and target compression ratio. These determine the correct piston compression height and crown design.
How should ring gaps be set for these pistons?
Ring gaps must be set by your engine builder based on fuel type, boost level and the intended rpm range. Forced-induction engines usually require larger gaps.
Are forged pistons suitable for street engines?
Yes. Forged pistons handle detonation and high cylinder pressure better than cast units. Your builder should set the piston-to-bore clearance to suit your application.
What are the key features of the ACL Race Series Main Bearings for Big Block Chev engines?

What RPM range are these main bearings suitable for?
The ACL Race Series Main Bearings are engineered for high-performance applications and can handle higher RPM conditions. However, the reliability and performance will depend on proper installation, machining, and overall engine setup, including tuning and oil quality.
Are these main bearings suitable for street use?
While the ACL Race Series Main Bearings are designed for racing and high-performance applications, they can be used in street engines that require enhanced durability. However, ensure that your engine is built to handle the demands of high RPM and performance driving.
What should I consider when installing these main bearings?
When installing the ACL Race Series Main Bearings, ensure that the bearing surfaces are clean and free of debris. Follow the manufacturer's specifications for torque settings and check for proper oil clearance. It is advisable to use high-quality engine oil during assembly to protect the bearings during initial startup.
