I'm in the process to build a B20Vtec and wondered if anyone have used clevite (rod and main)bearings.

 

From what ive heard they are good. just like ACLs. a guy i know that builds motors at a machine shop said hes opened acl boxes and had some clevite bearings and opened clevite boxes and had some acl bearings in there. So im guessin theyre pretty much the same thing..Dont take my word for it tho

 

Personally I would stick with oem honda bearings, just use b16a rod bearings instead of ls/b20 rodbearings. Unless you have all greens for your mains and rods

 

Thanks for your reply. I haven't opened up engine yet. I had experience with clevite on 4age engine and they are very reliable, so I though of using them in this engine. Plans are to rev. up to 8500rpm.

 

i help my friend build his LS Vtec and we used acl bearings and he reved that motor to 8600rpm and never spun a bearing

 

the machine shop we use to build our motors use clevite bearings and the acl's he has no preff. there both good

 

Thanks Player5530.
I'll use them then.

 

I am using them in my h22..

 

Im using OEM Honda bearings in my LS/VTEC.
