Re: (CRXDrew)
LOL! Those are CHEAP!
I wonder how they perform?
I'm using a $50 set of bearings for the engine I rebuilt.
I should have spent real $ and got OEM parts like the rest of the engine, but $200 for bearings was out of my budget at the time.
$50 bearings still holding strong after 5,000 miles or abuse!

dont just order bearings......If you cant plastiguage it to get the right size OEM bearings....Take it to a machine shop and have them assemble it.
If you dont find out exactly what clearance bearing you need you are going to have trouble in the long run.
Do it right the first time soo you wont have to rebuild it again after 5000 miles

How are the ACL's... Do they hold up like OEM? Any experience's with them (good or bad)? and anyone boosting on them?

ACLs are great bearings.

You can assemble it yourself.
I did... in my garage.
Just plastigauge and learn up on how to read the rod clearances in a Helm or Service manual.
It's not hard to do at all.
Once you have everythign worked out then you can order a set.
"Universal" type bearings that come in a pack are are about the same size. They won't make it to specific 100% tolerances, but they should fall within the factory tolerance somewhere. Some will be on the high end and some on the low end of the tolerance depending on your motor.

Those tell you what came in there orignally.
Over years of use, wear and tear, and especially if you change out parts (if you change out rods or the crank) then you MUST plastigauge.
