which bearings to use???????

[SullivanRacing06]

hey everyone, as everyone mite of known that my cars been down due to ecu troubles, after i have time to give her my time im going to pull the motor to replace the main n rod bearings, replace the rings and hone the sleeves.

the set of bearings that i used in the rebuild of the motor were acl race mains n rods n thrust.

im planning on using another set of cp rings.

any one have problems with acl race bearings?

any suggestions on these or other bearings?

thanks, tom

ACL.

i just bought ACL race main + rod bearings for 175 bucks shipped.

another set that i was interested in was the Cosworth bearings.

i searched and couldnt find anyone who has tried them out yet, but according to their site they are good up to 1000hp. and they are roughly the same price as the ACL. just sumthin to think about

I just posted a set of ACL Race main and rods in the classified tread. The were install in my engine but, just to take measurements.

just ordered a set of acl race main, rods n thrusts for 105.00 shipped to me next day from titan motor sports in orlando next day, idk why you were charged 175 shipped??? you could of ordered them for 110-130 shipped of ebay....

and for the person who added their bearings to the for sale thread, why would i want bearings you already removed from the wrap, touched, scared and removed from your motor for 'measurements' sorry but thats a no go ghost rider

[jdmser]

Simple no would of worked chief. No need to be an a**.

[SullivanRacing06]

sorry but i wouldnt think about buying "used" bearings

any reason to spend what ever your asking for bearings already installed when i could get bnib ones for 105.00 to my door?

sorry not trying to be a @ss but im not going to cheap out on a hundred buck set of bearings to save 20-30 bucks.....

sorry im not a cheap @ss

Titan doesn't list their RB bearings, when I bought mine I paid $175 like everybody else, and their not really used. They were install without the crank and measured. I like to be over critical of thing I sell. Why the separate thrush washers now?

[SullivanRacing06]

why separate what? the bearings?

go on ebay acl racemains, rods n thrusts r goings for 110-130

i get them for 105 to my door from tito at titan...

i consider bearings used when theyve been removed from the original package....

I was looking at the sets on ebay after you said you used ACL mains and rods and thrusts on your last build. The thrust came as part of the mains in both sets of ACLs I've ordered. What's the purpose of getting them separate?

[gawdzilla]

nismo bearings are the only ones i've used and i haven't had any problems. theres something about them being offered in all the OEM sizes (6?) that makes it feel more precise to me. ACLs are offered in 3. probably no big deal as you can still stay within spec but if you're picky about the tolerances and don't want to compensate with machining, oem or nismo has the best size selection imo

[SullivanRacing06]

they sell the mains, rods n thrusts all as one item.

i never said i was buying them separately

[ST240]

The b**** with going aftermarket like ACL like gawdzilla mentioned is you can only buy a set of a certain kind.

So from what i understand if you look at the grades that were used in your engine and they aren't all standard (ie theyre a spread of different grades), then you have to buy one size oversize and get your crank ground to the proper clearance.

Link?

[SullivanRacing06]

tito at titan knows my friend sav, i live in fla also so its a little cheaper on shipping.

Thrust arent bearings, its a washer...

And so what is wrong with bearings that have just been set in place for measurement? If they have never been started or really instand in the motor?

Its the same thing you are doing with your motor, as long as the motor was never started...its not like they bend or take shape of anything...they just get placed in, then measured on the crank to see the clearance....

[90240sxca18]

But to answer your question, I would choose ACL or clevite.

[SullivanRacing06]

Thrust arent bearings, its a washer...

yes, know that

for 105.00 im going to buy a new set of bearings instead of bearings that wount be shipped in the orig package (shrink wrap)

not worth risking a crank to save 25 bucks..
