What Bearings to use?

[nickrule99]

I've gotten everything I need to rebuilt a 6 bolt, all I need now is bearings.

I was pretty set on getting some Clevites, but I've seen some bad stuff on here about them not having strict factory tolerances. What bearings would you use if you were rebuilding your engine?

The engine has Eagle Rods and Ross Pistons. Its not going to see rev's higher then 8000, if that, and it will be supported by a 60-1 or a 50 trim turbo.

I cant decide between OEM, Clevites, ACL, and I saw someone mention Kings in another thread.

Thanks for the advice in advance.

Im in the same boat, but I can only get Federal Mogul locally, but at a discounted price because my friend works at the auto parts store. Although I hear clevite being thrown around alot on here, Im not sure if thats what I wanna spend extra money on, when other brands will do just fine. Mind throwing Federal Mogul on your poll? Awaiting the outcome

Use the ones you trade the cow for, then you can climb the stalk and meet the giant. Jack.

I'll keep the cow...


Much more reliable transportation, and theres nothing like a warm glass of milk on the way to work in the morning.

In the past I have used all of the bearings you list, and a few others as well. For most builds I use ACL, or King bearings.
