Here is some tech info on ACL Bearings. Note they are a tri-metal like Honda


Here is a set of ACL's out of one of my race engines. There are about 100 dyno and quarter mile passes on them. Thats got to equal 50,000 miles of use because of the way I run the motors on the ragged edge. These bearing are going back into the engine (wish I could say the same for the pistons)

 

how much is a set? Also do you think you can make a setup like Honda has with color coding. Like mesureing the ACL's and marking their color equal to Honda's?

 

Where can I get those from and roughly how much does a set run?

 

Sorry but...

..what are they for? What do they do?

 

Didn't you say they are one size fit all? Let us know the price. Thankz

I hope to have prices today.

 

Earl are you going to have GSR rod bearings? These are hard to get and I would like some. Will you also have their piston rings?

Good deal Earl, H-T members can really benefit from this.

ACL bearings may be the best kept "secret" that knowledgeable engine builders have.

so would u rate these bearings better, the same, or worse quality than an oem honda bearing ?

 

can i get these for my d-series?

 

From all the bearings I've seen ACL hold up much better than Honda O.E. I am going to be using them in my All Motor Drag LS/Vtec.

If you do a sided by side visual with Honda OE they even look higher quality. I have no hesitation in reccommending ACL's.

 

Where can you buy them? Im getting block work done soon and if these are competatively priced with OE bearings then ill prolly get them instead. Thanks!

If you are in a big rush and Earl can't get you some within your time frame I may be able to help you out.

 

Rocket, im in a time crunch! Internals shouldbe here mid next week and i want the engine in the shop by the end of the week. Let me know if you can work any magic!! IT'll be for a 1995 JDM GSR engine. Heck, you could even ship the bearings with my injectors i got from your group buy. Let me know. Thanks again Rocket,

Is this true? Only one size? how can that be?

 

ACL bearings are the next best thing to sliced bread...they work great.

 

whats the price on a full bearing package???

 

Rocket check your IM, hope you can help???

SLPR........

 

We dont use honda bearings in our car either...

 

what do you use?

 

Good news..I'm got approved by ACL to market ACL bearings, Hastings piston rings (the same kind you get when you order new pistons from JE) and maybe a new player in the head gasket market (not sure on these gaskets yet). Bear with me because I have received many e-mails and hope to get the pricing soon. I hope to open new areas to savings for all the H-T Members.

 

Here are the bad boys form Australia. (Mains for my engine)

Read the text underneath the diagram of the first post about load carry capacity and you'll see that the material used is the Duraglide 780 alloy.

i'm using ACL main/rod bearings as well in the engine that i'm build up. ACL is more reasonally priced than Honda bearings(way over-priced!). i forgot the exact price i got mine for, got them through my work, but it should be around $30-40 for the rod bearings set and $40-50 for the main bearings set. yeah, these bearings as well as most aftermarket bearings manufactures are not selective fit like the honda bearings, its ok though cause the oil clearances will vary only a couple tenths of an inch, if not more between the others.

 

Do I hear a GB? I will be the first one on your list.
