    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..

    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.
