Trying to choose bottom end bearings.
Curious if any of you guys have had any experience with king or acl mains and rod bearings in a high horsepower engine build. Or shouldn’t I just stick to Oem bearings?

King bearings is what was used on my car. Main and rods. If you are just doing factory NA, just use stock.

I built my bottom end stock crank with BC rods. Both main and rod King standard bearings. According to my plastigauge readings the clearances were on point for both.

I have ACL Race Series bearings in my LS swap. The shop where my car is uses them on monster builds.

I haven't heard anything bad about King.
