hellraiser Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 i want to start ordering parts for my build, what would you guys recommend for an engine rebuild, crank and rods are stock so do i choose oem and grade them accordingly or go acl.?? acl how do i grade them as they specify std and oversize grades in .25 steps? does that relate to the oem grading chart?

hellraiser Posted May 14, 2011 Author Posted May 14, 2011 also acl race or acl standard bearings !!!?? I HAVE SOO MUCH TO SORT OUT lol Quote
Yowser Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Grading the OEM bearings is bit of a PITA, and unnessesary really. Im sure when i first did it I noticed that the the Difference in grades available is smaller than allowable tolerance anyway. ACL are definatly the popular choice. I believe Jimmer uses ACL too. For ACL bearings, If crank has not been machined and within oem tolerances then use Standard size. The alternative sizes are for machined cranks. I had no idea what the difference with ACL Race and ACL standard bearings is, so had a google, and found that the Race version used "high strength alloy steel tapered bore pin to save weight" I guess may as well If the price difference is reasonable, but not a big deal.

hellraiser Posted May 14, 2011 Author Posted May 14, 2011 thants excellent thanks dave. my crank does not need grinding so acl standard or race bearings in standard size it is cheers Quote
jimmer Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 As David said i do use ACL bearings,the grading is a load of *****x imho,the difference in the grades are microns ffs.I use duraglides when i can get them.Ive had trouble of late and had to use race ones which are quite a bit more expensive. Quote
