Re: acl race bearings any good????? (boostd ls)
I have used the "race" HX bearings before. I believe they don't have the flash coating on them, so they are a bit harder, can withstand a bit more detonation but don't have good embedibility--you must keep clean oil.
The block I had them in had another problem --so I had to tear it down after around 500 miles. They were fine during that time though.

The race bearings don't have a babbit flash on the surface.So they don't look as uniform.They also don't have as much eccentricity.They should be used in a strong aftermarket rod.If the rod big end distorts it may pinch at the parting line.
