I decided on getting ACL's for my build. It's an LS block with a GSR crank. Which ACL's do I get?? Here's what I'm thinking...correct me if I'm wrong:

LS Mains
LS Thrusts
GSR Rods

 

bump

 

I wouldn't run anything but OEM bearings.

Seems pretty straight forward

 

the clevite 777 tri plated bearing is a greatest bearing if used yet. i will never touch another acl there garbage i had the acls and they came apart on me more than once. The clevites held up great all season long, i saw 44psi in pomona and i just pulled the motor apart and bearing look brand new after multiple runs at 44psi and 30psi passes

Your extraordinarly long run on scentence failed to communicate your point of view. At first, I thought you hated ACL's... then by the end of the "scentence" I thought you loved em. Which one is it? Try to use some punctuation this time. It might be easier to understand.

 

Stick with OEM, Nick. You can then size them properly.

 

ACL standard beaings here..been in my motor for 1 1/2 years (checked from time to time) and still look brand new even after over 200 dyno pulls and 100 pass's down the track at 30 to 50 psi boost pressure..

set them up right and they last forever!

ACLs come within spec 99.99% of the time.

lol I agree. Sorry Buck but I had to read your comment a few times to figure out which bearing you hated.

I run a mix of ACLs and OEM. During my recent rebuild the ACLs all looked perfect while the OEMs were good.

So the OEMS appeared to wear faster?

 

Eh I won't go that far. If I do everyone will jump on me for saying so. See for yourself: 1,2,3,4,5 (left to right)



Mains 1,2,3 are OEM. Mains 4 and 5 are ACL. Engine was torn down after 3,000 miles bc I detonated a piston.

That's because it's Honda-Tech, LOL.

I agree though. Mains 4 and 5 look a little better.

with the proper machine work, you can make any bearings fit. you can get the acl race bearings in +/-.001 incriments. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Muckman &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Eh I won't go that far.

which cylinder went down? the wear shown on the bearings could be a direct relation of extra load being forced onto the crank from the detonation.

 

acl's or oem are fine...i been using acl's on my previous engine setup... ran fine until my oil pump shatter the first time...and my current setup...approx. 5k miles still running strong thus far

#4 piston ironically, with ACL mains underneath.
All rods were ACL too and those looked just as perfect as mains 4 and 5.
hmmmmmmmm

 

Enzo hit the nail on the head. He's the only one that actually read the post. Anyway I PM'd earl and he said what I said in my original post about which ones to get. So it's all figured out.

 

Thats why nobody else answered the question because it had already been answered.

 

Yeah you're right. just wanted to make sure

Do you still run that OBX diff?

Exactly what I was thinking.......Not many know that IMPORTANT fact though. You seem to work at a machine shop so im sure it's common knowledge for ya .

i was thinking the same thing the second the word detonation was mentioned and he started to compare bearings..

My ACL's have been in my car for about 5000 miles and I am going to rip it down before i throw my turbo kit on it to ensure the motor is still holding up well N/A

ACL bearings get my vote

You know what he meant, no need to start e-thuging. I'm sure he will fix it once he sees it. He ran the clevite's all year.
