Frequently Asked Questions
What is the specification of these bearings?
ACL Duraglide 780 are a tri-metal copper-lead heavy duty bearing suitable for any high performance A-Series engine. They are manufactured in Australia with strict quality control standards, and we've used them for decades with excellent durability.
Which bearings do I need?
1275 non-Cooper S engines all had 1.750" diameter big end journals, whereas Cooper S and 998 engines had 1.625". These are based on the 1.750" size, with oversize bearing sets available in 0.010" increments. You will need to measure your journals with a micrometer to be sure.
What is the equivalent part number for these bearings?
ACL lists the 1275 big ends as 4B2206.
Can you supply in-between or non-standard sizes to suit my crankshaft?
No, you'll need to have your crankshaft machined to the correct size if the journals are worn out of tolerance, rather than try to size bearings to suit. Unfortunately it's not feasible to have custom bearings produced.
My crankshaft has already been reground several times - can you supply larger sizes?
We stock over-size bearings up to 0.040" in 0.010" increments, and can usually supply anything up to 0.060" by special order. If you need a size that's not listed, please contact us and we can check availability.
