Bearing Configuration

H identifies the ACL Race Series family. Match the complete suffix to the required clearance, shell width and locating features.

The factory catalog identifies the 4B1606 family as the notched rod-bearing configuration for selected four-cylinder applications. The 4B1609 family has no notch; confirm the connecting-rod locating requirement before substitution.

Engine Application

The engine-family list identifies catalog applications, not universal vehicle fitment. Confirm the exact engine version, crankshaft, rods, block and bearing location. Vehicle names and photos do not replace dimensional verification.
