Set of 10 tri-metal crankshaft main bearing shells for VAG 2.0 TFSI EA113.
The 2.0 TFSI of the EA113 family is the Volkswagen Group's 2.0 litre four-cylinder with turbocharger and direct injection. It powers the Audi A3, S3, A4, TT and TTS, the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf R, the Scirocco R, the Seat Leon Cupra R and the Skoda Octavia II, among others. ACL and King list a main bearing set for this engine. The compatibility table also lists the group's 1.8 T 20-valve engines, which take the same bearing set.
The crankshaft of this engine runs on five main bearings. Each journal turns between two half shells, one seated in the block and the other in the main bearing cap: they carry the crankshaft. The ACL Race Series and KING RACING tri-metal sets shown here replace them on built engines.
A tri-metal bearing stacks three layers: a steel back, a copper-lead intermediate layer with high load capacity and an anti-friction running surface that protects the journal. The complete set contains 10 half shells, five pairs for five main bearings. The upper and lower half shells are different: each goes in its own position. ACL specifies that the full groove is only on position 4 and that this set requires thrust washers.
An aluminium bi-metal takes around 8,000 psi, a performance tri-metal up to 12,000 psi, 50% more. Hence better resistance and better durability on turbocharged, supercharged and high-revving engines.

The running clearance is the gap between the bearing and the journal where the oil film flows.
In operation, the crankshaft journal does not rub against the bearing: it rides on this oil film, which carries the load. Clearance sets the thickness of this film: too tight, oil flows poorly, temperature rises and the risk of seizure increases; too loose, oil escapes, the film loses load-carrying capacity and oil pressure drops. The right clearance is the balance between adequate lubrication and a well-maintained oil film.
| Size / grade | When to choose it | ACL Race Series | King XP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard (STD) | Standard journal, not reground | 0.056 to 0.067 mm | 0.054 mm - 0.067 mm |
| Increased clearance (HX / STDX) | Wider clearance: high oil flow, high rpm | 0.081 to 0.092 mm | 0.079 mm - 0.092 mm |
| +0.025 / +0.026 mm | Polished journal | 0.056 to 0.067 mm | 0.054 mm - 0.067 mm |
| +0.25 mm | Journal reground to 0.25 mm | 0.056 to 0.067 mm | 0.054 mm - 0.067 mm |
| +0.50 mm | Journal reground to 0.50 mm | 0.056 to 0.067 mm | 0.054 mm - 0.067 mm |
Check at assembly: lay a calibrated strip (Plastigauge) on the journal, tighten the main cap following the manufacturer's procedure, then compare the width of the crushed strip with the gauge to read the clearance.
The ACL and King main bearings shown here are trimetal bearings, designed for engine building and racing. Compared with an original bearing, they handle far higher loads: they cope with increased power, high rpm or the addition of a turbo or supercharger, where a standard bearing quickly reaches its limit.
