I'd still take properly-sized OEM bearings over ACL "Race." I'd also argue that perfect clearances are more important at high RPM than the bearing material. The crank and rod journals should be riding on a thin film of oil after all.
well if u decide to use OEM or ACL u still need to add the bearings to ur list.
the best thingto do is... first do all ur research on the different types of setup's the make a list off all the parts u want to run for that setup. after the list is complete then u can begin to bu parts. but do ur research otherwise u will end up buying usless parts. (i.e. using a B16 flywheel and machining it to 15lbs)
also start to price out the work u will need to have a michine shop do, be perpared cuz they're not cheap.
Do you plan on getting the block decked and hot tanked?

i would hope so... it would be stupid if he didnt. he needs to get the head shaved as well, there is no point in putting them together if u dont. thats the quickest was to blow a head gasket!!!
You don't hot tank an aluminum block. If you're having the block milled or machined at all, the machine shop will handle the necessary cleaning with an aluminum-safe method.
Thats what the machine shop recommended to me once I took them the block.The guy said would you like me to hot tank it too.

Well there are alternatives, acid bath solutions are available that are safe to aluminum for example. A traditional "hot tanking" though, is corrosive to aluminum and may even warp it.
Thats good to know now lol wish I knew that before.

I doubt that the shop you took it to is substandard --- that is just the standard term for cleaning and prepping/degreasing the block - no matter how it is done.

I guess it just depends on the application because alot of people have said scotts machine shop cant build and dont know their shit.But I have not had any problems with them.But alot of Ford guys do I guess they didnt realize when they pulled up all the employees cars were CHEVYS

* sigh *
There is a difference between:
1) a machinist (machine shop)
2) mechanic
3) engine builder
Guys PLEASE learn the difference. Just b/c a guy can mill a head w/ his eyes closed doesn't mean he can spec out your build or assemble a proper bottom end. Just b/c a guy can change your alternator doesn't mean he can install pistons and rings.
"I'm not a gynecologist... but I'll take a look."
True but I have noticed alot of people have had motors assembled at machine shops and had zero problems,

^^thats very true. BUT....
i was talking about there machine work though. i know that scott's does great machine work since my job deals with them on a regular basis,and i know alot of people who have had they're machine work done there. plus they did a grea job on the machine work and cleaning or my motor, I dont let anyone assemble my motors, i'd rather do it myself.
asfar as there building skills go i cant comment since i assembled my own motor, i havent heard anything bad or good so got me there.
now precision ive heard some pretty bad things about there shop. i had a friend that used to work there and he said they half assed everything they touched, they're customer service sucks, and nothing is ever completed on time. i went up there one day to go to lunch wit my friend and walked inside and the phones were ringing off the hook and everyone was just standing around talking.
I know Damon used to work there... as well as Roger... and I know a few good/bad/ugly things about Precision. The simple fact about them is that they are just NOT versed in import stuff. That's the case w/ a lot of machine shops actually. Sure --- they've done a few blocks out of neccessity but it's not exactly what they specialize in. After Damon quit working there I have NO reason to go there again bc most of the guys that were there were domestic-centric types of guys. I knew as long as he was there then there would be some1 there w/ a clue. Speaking of Damon/Roger --- ask Damon how the LS wagovan drug a b20 hatch w/ Crower 403s down the road last weekend - LOL.
"I'm not a gynecologist... but I'll take a look."
was the wagovan spraying?
1. It gets really old when people keep calling southside a thief, b/c honestly, they have no phucking idea! lol
I didn't spray. I unhooked the bottle in front of every1 in the Taco Bell parking lot (I don't run people dirty). I got him by circa 3 cars the 1st run from 40mph. 1 car the 2nd run from 40 (I accidentally bounced off the limiter and gave him some ground). 1st run from dig I missed second but had him cracked through 1st gear. 2nd run from dig a little over a car.
"I'm not a gynecologist... but I'll take a look."
no he wasnt spraying he just has a really really strong ls motor i would love to see him and evasive's old hatch run as his ls was strong as well

A wagon doesn't weigh as much as people think. 2349 with ac. No driver. So a driver mod can severely make up for that.
Bozzio for president.
Yea, I thought they weighed alot until I looked it up and they were like 2350lbs.But a b20 hatch wit 403s?Damn I would like to see video of that
