Set of 16 trimetal connecting rod half-bearings for Toyota 3UR-FE.
The 3UR-FE is Toyota's 5.7 litre 32-valve V8, fitted to the Tundra, Sequoia and Land Cruiser 200. ACL lists a single bearing set for this engine: same crankpin diameter, a single set covers the family.
From the factory, this engine is fitted with standard production connecting rod bearings, sized for the loads of the original engine: as soon as power, engine speed or boost pressure increase, they reach their limits.
A trimetal 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 16 half shells, eight pairs for a V8 engine.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (STD) | Standard journal, not reground | 0.058 to 0.069 mm |
| Increased clearance (HX) | Wider clearance: high oil flow, high rpm | 0.083 to 0.094 mm |
| +0.025 mm | Polished journal | 0.058 to 0.069 mm |
| +0.25 mm | Journal reground to 0.25 mm | 0.058 to 0.069 mm |
Checking on assembly: lay a calibrated strip (Plastigauge) on the journal, torque the rod cap to spec, then compare the crushed strip against the gauge to read the clearance.

The ACL rod 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.
