King Engine bearings? Anyone use them? If not what do you use?
 

I have used ACL duraglide and race bearing on about 95% of the engines i have built. I used a set of kings about 5years ago with good luck. With the whole ACL failing at life with the price jump and the intergalactic back order on b18/b20 bearings i need to get some and would like to hear what every one is using out there.

Thanks

I used a set of kings in a factory rebuild.
Worked ok.
As far as I know its still driving.
That was 4 years ago

Clevites have worked well for me so far.

Why not just order ACL bearings from an online store that has them in stock?

Re: King Engine bearings? Anyone use them? If not what do you use?
 

Who carries them? I've been looking and noone carried them in stock I guess.

Plus Im sure there must be a number of H-T sponsors that have them in stock

King is a really good bearing if you ask me, I used them in my B18C build.

Re: King Engine bearings? Anyone use them? If not what do you use?
 

I called and emailed over 60 companies in and out of the US no one has them.

yep!

They dont have them.

Yeah the ACL thing sucks. we do have mains/thrust acl race but are out of the rod bearings for B16 and LS motors. I believe I have a few sets of B18C HX rod bearings too.

ACL Says end of July. I also have the full set of Clevite in stock with the H rod bearing. Been having to use that with the whole ACL fiasco.

there duraglide and race bearings like i stated in the OP.

Re: King Engine bearings? Anyone use them? If not what do you use?
 

Any of the Outlaw and SFWD guys have any certain bearings you like???

Re: King Engine bearings? Anyone use them? If not what do you use?
 

I have used King in my last motor they held up great and are still holding up in a friends chassis

Re: King Engine bearings? Anyone use them? If not what do you use?
 

they do not make them hardened like the ACL bearings are (1925h)

If they would actually have them hardened, they would sell a lot better. For race motors, they are not too good. they cant take a beating especially at high rpm.

king bearings here....making over 400whp with them. no problems. actually the last 3 or 4 engine setups i went thru all used king bearings...never a bearing related failure/problem. they seem to work just fine...they can take the abuse...

Re: King Engine bearings? Anyone use them? If not what do you use?
 

I dont know were you got your info but according to king there HP bearings hard just like the ACL Race.

Re: King Engine bearings? Anyone use them? If not what do you use?
 

Contact Laskey Racing I got a full B-Series ACL Bearing set for $100 shipped, cant beat that!

My old motor had King's in it, never had a problem with them.

Re: King Engine bearings? Anyone use them? If not what do you use?
 

Why not just use OEM Honda? That's all we use in our motors.

Re: King Engine bearings? Anyone use them? If not what do you use?
 

My father used to sell their bearings in the late 90's. He swears by them. He has them on a 800hp 460 that was built ten years ago, has at least four hundred passes on it and still going strong.

Re: King Engine bearings? Anyone use them? If not what do you use?
 

Only OEM Honda here! I have used others, but none compare to Honda! Period.

Re: King Engine bearings? Anyone use them? If not what do you use?
 

OEM bearings are what I hear most people use, I have never heard any bad things with the oem honda bearings.

Re: King Engine bearings? Anyone use them? If not what do you use?
 

i use oem in my higher hp car 800whp and clevites in a 400hp sohc both i have had good luck with prefer oem tho, recomend playin with the colors to get proper clearances for high hp if useing oem, good luck

Re: King Engine bearings? Anyone use them? If not what do you use?
 

that is what i was thinking.. theyre the best to use in my opinion and the only ones i use in engines i build.
