.....for a rebuild on an itr motor?

 

All I can say is I've only heard good things about them. They are currently in my spare sohc motor, but it isn't needed yet so i can't really give you a review.

I will say that when I plastiguaged them, they did run in spec for the motor. Guess I got lucky or something

 

i built two motors runnning acl's a b16 and my current ls/vtec. i've had no problems and they both were in spec on both motors. i will recommend them to anyone.

 

Ive never heard anything bad either and they were recommended for my rebuild.

 

I am about to build my C1 with them. Got a good deal from Earl . Look up his name and im sure you will see a lot about acls. You know, in another thread someone said that you dont need to platiguage them. I cant remember if earl said that or not. Anyway pm him and he will tell you a lot about them.

Not checking tolerances is asking for disaster.

Using them also in my freshly rebuilt motor

the machine shop installed them and checked for clearances and resized the big end of the rod to get perfect clearnces

 

i rock them in the D16A6 i built for a friend, came out to almost perfict specs on the plasigauge. i give them a

Ended up using ACL's in my ITR when I rebuilt. Clearances were right on.

i know that and plan on doing it when i build my motor. Its just that people say they are one size fits all so there is no need to do it. I dont know, take a look at this link.

Earl reccommended the ACL's for my 600whp b16 build. . .
And that's what I put in the motor
And earl also mentioned that he VERY RARELY has problems with the clearances of ACL's

 

whats main reason people choose the acl over oem ?

Availability

 

whats price difference between 2 and why not just go to dealer for oem ?

 

I got my acl kit for around 100 bucks. I think the oem bearings are much higher in price. maybe around 200 ish?

 

I PERSONALLY wouldn't use anything other than OEM after checking all tolerances and ordering the proper bearing size for the application.

However, I have heard no bad things about ACLs. I suppose if you check the tolerances and order the proper bearing, you should be ok, but why not just go ahead and use O.E.?

There was a period in which the OEM bearings were on backorder and the wait would be forever. Not sure if this is still the case. That may be a deciding factor for some to go ahead and use aftermarket bearings for their respective rebuilds. Price can be another attributing factor in the decision to go with OEM or aftermarket.
