OEM or ACL, just check and make sure they are within specs with plastigauge.

Either will serve you well.

I've seen some ACL's that's been coated, mains and rods. what do you guys think about coated bearings? I"m looking for some good bearings that are coated. Anyone know where to find them?

I just used OEM... Nothing easier than reading the marks on the block and on the crank, and ordering the correct sizes. I still don't have a grasp on how ACL's once size fit's all bearings work... So I just used OEM. No complaints.

Matt

PS- the reason I say this is bc my OEM bearings worked out so that I have 3 different bearing sizes... one brown, two yellow... and two green.
