Default ACL Or OEM rod bearings

Just trying to figure out which rod bearings would be better! SOHC-V boosting 8psi. I've heard that the OEM rod bearings are pretty good with N/A or low boost! Anybody care to chime in...

oem allows you to get all your tolerences much closer because of the color codes. i think acl's are just the middle "green" size.

why would you put bearings from an H series in a B series? Don't fvck around with that stuff. Get exactly what size you need for exactly what motor you need.

Oem bearings are better as stated above because they come in different sizes for different clearances.
