Default After Market Bearings?

I am in the middle of putting together a motor and i have heard different things about different bearings. I know alot of people use the oem ones but has any one used ACL's? Is any one making alot of power on ACL's? Can someone please give me some feed back about different brand bearings? TY.

i put aftermarket bearings in the same category as heroin or pcp.... just say no.

maybe i'm ****, but i think if you're doing something as expensive as an engine rebuild, don't risk it with any aftermarket seals, bearings or gaskets.

it really comes down to what your engine builder likes. i've seen both honda and aftermarket bearings have great success.

My builder loves ACL bearings. Im gonna get a set and just have him check the check the Clarence. If some are out of spec ill replace those with OEM's. Alot of people like ACL's and alot of people like OEM's....its hard to decide lol.

I've used two sets of ACL bearings(on a b18b and b16a2) without any problems.
