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 Conrod Bearings for the MINI W11B16?

What should I consider regarding oil supply when using these bearings?
These conrod bearings feature 3/4 grooving on the main bearings, which optimises oil supply to the bearings. It's essential to ensure that your oil system is functioning correctly and that you are using high-quality oil to maintain proper lubrication and cooling, especially under high-performance conditions.
Do I need to modify my engine to fit these conrod bearings?
Generally, the ACL Race Series Conrod Bearings are designed to fit the MINI W11B16 without modification.
