what bearings? - Aussie V8 | Holden - Ford

Daryn · 26-08-2008, 08:26 PM

Just wondering what everyones preferences are when it comes to bearings for mains and big ends? Most that I talk to use one of the following: ACL Race Series, Clevite 77 H Series and/or King bearings. I'm putting a new set in and thought I'd find out what the rest of you use.

ACL race, no contest, damn fine brgs.
Although the King accular's are also pretty good.
Clevite is much the same as ACL - good brgs, but buy Aussie if you can!

Think I'll get the ACL race series ones. I can get them quite easily but having trouble getting other brands. Thanks for the replies.

Sorry pvk308, but this needs to be corrected:

MAHLE purchased Clevite from the DANA Corperation mid last year.

MAHLE, four/five years ago purcahsed the piston and ring division from ACL.

ACL is it's own company now, primarly gaskets and bearings.

Yes, support the Aussie business. ACL still make a good bearing!
