Hey guys, I'm building a B16a engine. I need advice on what main and rod bearings to use. My builder insists I use OEM colour coded bearings. I've been reading alot in the forum and see alot of guys using ACL bearings. What is my best choice?

 

i use them in my turbocharged gsr motor they work well. some people prefer oem and i am sure they will work fine when clearances are correct but acl is great

 

I use clevite, but i've used oem, stuff I picked up at autozone, and topline, i've never had any problems with either.

 

i'm happy with my ACLs. if your clearances are ok, most bearings are fine.

 

OEM. ACL bearings are very good though but ill use OEM bearings for my rebuil B16 what i will do soon.

 

i suggest the oem bearings. most acl's i have removed look like crap after a few thousand miles.

 

OEM, can't go wrong.
