hey guys anybody ever run into any problems with the acl race bearings. i dropped my motor off to get built and my builder said the acl kit doesnt always work that kind of worries me considering who i bought them from said there is only one size for std and it wil definatly work.

any input opinions welcome

 

a Honda engine uses multiple size bearings so you can not just throw in some acl bearings and it will work for you you need to have the crank sized down to get the clearances you need

 

i havent heard anything bad about them but i would go OEM..there are a few fully built k series running ACL bearings without any problems...

 

no problems with acl at all you just need to size your crank to run them no big deal

 

is there a expensive charge for this? or will the builder just have it done?

 

im in middle of a build as well. im usin acl bearings for my b16 and the machinest said that since im usin those i gotta get it line honed? sumthin like that dnt really recall wat exactly he used to explain it to me. but he said hes done this for others b4 and said there the best bearings!

 

never let them line hone your block line bore maybe but there is a difference and all you need to do is have the crank sized line boring it for sizing is the wrong way to do it

no what i said, never line hone your block only line bore but line boring a block to get the right clearances is not the right way to do it ether line boring is if you don't have matching main caps or you block got out of line only

 

wait so what shudnt i do? wat is the right/wrong way to do it?

 

Ok I see now...I misread what you wrote...

 

yeah my builder was talking to me about all that i think its quite a bit of extra money to get it done will see if he calls me and tells me whats going on.

 

would a heavy micropollish take any amount off for clearances
