It's the installer, not the bearing..lol, to tight, to loose, no oil, etc kills bearings.. I've used Honda, clevite, king, and acl.. All with no problems, Honda lasting the longest of-course.. ;)


No 2 journals are the same so keep that in mind when installing an aftermarket STD set on stock crank/rods.. ;)

Expecting alot, and I have no clue who's building it.. I've be 15K-30K on aftermarket stuff, 80K-100K on Honda stuff

Ive used ACL bearings in 10+ engine builds and never had a problem with them.. always measured clearance though. One of which was a d16z6 that i put over 50k+ miles on boosted.
