Hows it goin guys... So i had some bearings lined up and had a problem now im on my own. This is the only parts im waitin on for it to run so just a quick Q. I like ACL... my buddies have made some BIG power on them and the motor i bought had a spun rod bearing (oem). My question is I've bin looking at these :http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ories

And im worryed about sizes. I see the "max" size crap but i cant find any specs on stock. ACL doesnt roll with the same Grade concept as oem so are these the ones i need? No over or undersize just stock. I'll start postin pics of the build but i need to get these orderd! thanks for any help !!!

I hope this helps out. Not too sure what your set up will be used for; but these are great for track and street, imo. Check out the specs.

Not too pricey. Very reliable.

ACL does make undersized bearings, they are usually not on websites though. If you spun a bearing and had it machined then stock ones will not work for you.

Did you have the crank ground at all? If not those will work, they measure out pretty loose though from my experience. If the crank was ground, you need to know how much and get the appropriate bearings.

if you spun a bearing you need to have the crank checked and at minimum if its still good get it polished. my experence with spun bearings is get a new crank or get it turned with oversized bearings, ive never had/seen a good crank after a spun bearing. have it check so you dont have to do it twice.
