The ones that have the proper clearances for the engine would be my choice. What's wrong with OEM? Most OEM bearings tend to last for 200-300k+ miles when they have proper clearances and routine maintenance is carried out.

Re: best engine bearings..
OEM with WPC treatment is the route I'm going.

Re: best engine bearings..
Don't forget you can use k20a2 main bearings too, kinda like gsr rod bearings that have a special coating.
Motoiq.com has a great article on wpc and use it on most of their projects
If I build another b series it'll be gsr/itr rod bearings and probably these for the mains, http://www.cosworthusa.com/store/pc/...&idproduct=405

Re: best engine bearings..
clevite is absolute ****.. so many motors failling cause of bad bearings.. not just all motors, but FI setups as well.
I use ACL, but if not ACL OEM.. proper color matching... stay close to OEM spec as well.

Re: best engine bearings..
Clevite and ACL seem to have the "best" rep
These bearing you put in personally?

Re: best engine bearings..
Bearings are only as good as the person doing the clearencing and machining and the person building the engine, OEM & ACL are very good. Clevite,King work great never had a problem with any of them.
