    Default Engine Bearings: King vs. ACL

    I am getting ready to buy bearings to rebuild my bottom end of my b18c1(GS-R). Has anyone here used King Bearings before? I have always used ACL bearings and never had a problem. Just wondering if anyone has used/heard of King bearings.

    Use ACL, over 200 motors and ive never had an issue.

    I know some people use KING, but i never have, i stick to what works.

    ACL also has a better clearance IMO than the Kings

    All the PROs use ACL too like

    Don Flores
    Jim Justice
    Abacus Racing
    King Motorsports
    ERL
    Golden Eagle
    etc

    I figure if they use them, they must know something

    King will be fine. I've used them in 300hp street engines, and 1200+ hp race engines. Its all preference.

    Everytime i post something you got something negative to say.

    Name dropping? NO dumbass, pick up the phone an TALK TO PEOPLE, or READ, or INTERACT with them.

    I spent a good bit of money with Mr. Flores, and i still hold the B series NA record. I had several motors built for customer by him (DA_UNKNOWN, KEVINT707, few others) that made good power and still run to this day.

    I know that Jim Justice line bored a friends motor and chose custom oversized ACL race bearings. Jim Justice builds MANY NHRA and NDRA engines for points leaders.

    Golden Eagle assembles EVERY MOTOR they make with ACL bearings. Ive had 3 engines come from them, 1 made 630whp and still runs to this day.

    I built 5 engines with ACL bearings and of those 5, 3 revved to 9900rpm with no issues, lasted 50k miles before they gave out.

    ERL, call an talk to them.

    If you read about Kings engines, they run ACL bearings in their race motors.

    Dont hate because im passing my knowledge on to other people that dont know. If you have something to say, please, PM me, keep the BS out of threads because of some personal vendetta you have.

    Name dropping LOL, i guess personal experieince isnt supposed to be used anymore.
