Engine bearings

[Raptor]

I was looking for someone to post with experience rather than guessing, thanks ya goob. Kings are the bearings we are probably switching to. We have a few sets on the way for Curtis's 2.14 and Gary's 2.3 and one set to keep in the office with the clevites and ACL's for comparison. The Kings were recommended to me by a good racing outfit that I trust. After doing a bit of research on them I am pretty confident they will be much better than any of the other options.

Hey mike? Same pricing? Wow thats kind of shocking I know when i used them in my 351 ford they werent exactly cheap. Way to go if that is true they are very high quality bearings.

I will know for sure when we recieve them of the price, we are not direct with them however, our source uses tons of them so they get really decent pricing.

As I thought, the pricing was actually better even than the clevites. Can't beat that, the best bearings out there for less money.

Great deal....

Well, I wanted to follow up on this, I used the Kings in a 2.3 I sent out Tuesday to TN, I am extremely impressed with the quality of them as well as the price. The ACL's are the only other bearings I will use from now on. The H rated ACL's are sweet, they just are only available for 7 bolts for the moment. That is said to change soon however. They cost twice as the Kings and it is questionable if they are better or not, I am going to keep checking into both and talking with the engineers till I find out then it will be one or the other.

Do you have any more feedback about the King bearings?

I used clevites in the motor I built 2 years ago. The motor was in my galant and then the red 1g. I just used plastic gauge and did not see any reason not to use them but I will be getting Kings for the 2 motors I need to build. I also used a set of ACLs in a 7 bolt, very nice bearing and I hope it holds up for the 2g owner.
