Yeah man, just use the acl bearings, you'll be fine. Just make sure you check the tolerances first to make sure.

more less ment caN ANY foreign members see if they can get em and shipp em to me or if anyone has connection see if they can source them for me... figure no ones going to have 3 grade 4s 1 grade 3 and `1 grade 2. lol...

acl measure oput of spec... like .002 or more... so no good. plastigauge it 4 times and there too loose for my liking. (1 or 2 were close to be good other 3 are way out, those r the grade 4s lol)

What made you change your bearings? Why don't you have the machine shop cut your crank and use a common .25 over-sized bearing. I run that size and it works just fine. You don't have time to be playing with nissan and it's grade garbage. Or you can buy a remanufactured crank for around $225 with all the bearings you need.

the motor is getting totally redone and i want new bearings, i just dont want anything to go wrong my first build and lots of money into to get it near completion... im afraid to use too loose bearings, and ive spent most my bidget so i was trying not to speend a few hundread on crank work. i might just toss em in, i mean if not losser than .003 i should be fine right. replace states .004.
