Did a search and didn't come up with anything of use. Anybody used them?

 

oem

 

I have seen nothing but great results from ACL bearings. I can't remember ever hearing a bad thing. I personally am using them in my rebuild and they were all well within spec

 

performance build here, great. all within spec...highly recommend.

I dont understand if they only come in one size (brown) how can they work? It was my understanding that Honda engines were built to very tight specs from the factory and required each engine to have different size bearings (within the range of course).

 

I've had my ACL bearings in my built motor for about a year now. no problems and runs great.

 

I run only OEM bearings in my motors.

I've seen the wear that happens when you run too loose or tight on bearinsg, and IMO it's better to run the right clearences.

Race motors are a different thing. When you run 'slightly' looser you have less friction and can make a little more power.....better to run proper clearence tho in a motor that will see a lot of miles.

 

I thought the ACL's came with stock clearances?

What "Top pro racers" are running them? Are they all the same clearances like the ones customers get?

 

I had thought if you were going to use them you had to balance your bottom end to the brown color's specs.

 

ACL are designed for Green and Brown Color. If you're color in between green, yellow and brown, you can use ACl and you'll be within specs.

if your color is black or pink, you may neet to machine the journal to the green spec, but if you have to do this, just get OEM bearings.

I have 4 green and 1 yellow on Main, and 3 green and 1 brown on Rod. I Used ACL and all DEAD within specs.

Which color should I be using with Eagle rods in my D16Y8?

I have pretty much the same color codes as you...plastigaged them last week...perfect

 

I've been using ACL bearings. They were all within spec so i didn't have any problems sizing them up.

same here

 

I like oem
nothing against acl

 

ACL's will fit most people's engines, they work well, and they aren't on backorder half the time you need them.

I used ACL.

When I rebuilt the GSR a few months back, they were all with in spec.

 

well how many people here have "HAD" problems with acl?

 

My ACL are just fine

 

Ive had mine for 5000 miles now and they are fine!
