Hey guys. i'll be plopping in some new rods, pistons in my z6 next weekend and was wondering what bearings i should get and where i shold get them from. I hear stock bearings are great, but just wanted you all opinions?
Thanks

factory onda bearings if you have the money or a hook up, if not then i'd go acl. everybody has a different opinion though, i've been told that the acl's will kill my motor faster...but if your builder is good and has experience with them i see nothing wrong, by the way m motor with the acl's performs fine.

 

i recommend getting some ACL bearings. they are cheap and are good quality bearings. Alot of good builders use these bearings. Contact TOM at camp1320.com for the best prices!

 

Stock Honda.

 

how much should i expect to pay for some stock honda's???
Thanks
Burke

 

all depends I would suggest if you don't know someone at a dealer purchase them from hparts.com

 

i have been quoted 8-12 bucks a half...a full set of acl's can be had for $100

 

I ONLY use OE Honda bearings... They may run a little more but I like them I get them from my friend that works at a dealership for ~$7.00 which is only $3.00 cheaper than they would normally be...

 

We run stock honda bearings in our race motor. I will only run honda bearings and I never have a problem.

is that price per half?

if you run honda, you should have nothing to worry about...that's the point...it's the acl's that most people have never had any experience with that are said to be "no good", is the assemblt is clean and correct both should do fine. i have and still run acl's with no problem as i said before...

 

Yea, that's per half...

 

ACL bearings are not precise bearings. most of the bearings MAY fit, but not all the measurements will be exact. you have to consider that not all the clearances are exactly the same.
With Honda bearings, you can measure to match each bearing that you will need.

 

Oe Honda Honda

 

thanks for the help guys. i emailed hparts for bearing and camp1320
do you guys have any other sites that might have them.
im new to this cause i wasnt expecting to have to do this, but i got ripped off on my motor and the bottom end wasnt built like it was said to
thanks again

 

clevite? any opinions?

 

my pops rocks clevites in his built 351 (ford v8) but i would not run them in my honda, those v8's tolerances are not nearly as close as a honda's...so even if there is a few differences in size, he will never even know.

 

Honda OEM all the way. many non-Honda vehicles use Honda bearings.
