ACL Race Series Main Bearing Set for VW 2.0L TSI/TFSI EA888 Engines
The ACL Race Series main bearing set, engineered specifically for 2.0L TSI/TFSI EA888 4-cylinder engines. This 0.25mm (0.010 in.) undersize set delivers robust load-carrying capacity and consistent oil film strength, making it the best choice for high-revving applications where reliability under extreme conditions matters most. Compared to standard bearings, it provides greater fatigue resistance and heat dissipation through its advanced tri-metal design, ensuring longer service life in demanding performance scenarios.
