interesting read on ACL bearings

[chapel gate]

By the book your supposed to, and is good practice.

i and i know others have gone for the one size fits all. Taiho are available from milners.

ACL appear to be overpriced and over rated..

Millers big end bearings! I,ve heard every risk possible now lol.

I would buy the graded toyo ones. Others have successfully used other makes.

Me too (meaning I did).

They weren't so expensive, and it's only money after all...

I'm looking at the order sheet for a set and they come numbered as 2-3-4-5-6.

does anyone know if there is a particular number of each or wether its just pot luck when you take them out ? Will i have 2x2 and then 3-4-5-6 for example or is it random.

You might have any combination of the numbers. Only removing them will reveal the number stamped on them. Each journal will have same numbers.

Toyota grind the journal and con rod roughly then make graded shells. The shells are easier to make accurately so that,s the cheapest way to go.

Cheers for that Frank. I've got a full set of ACL's but I am going for the Toyota ones instead.
I paid way too much for the stretch bolts (I can get the partsouk ones and just bring them with me in my luggage without all the post and import nonsense) I was hoping to just buy a set but i know now ill have to take the caps off, check the numbers and then order the corresponding replacements.

And also check, on assembly, with plasiguage. It's cheap and easy to use. Mistakes can be made during manufacture with the thickness of the shell. A very tight or very loose shell would be catastrophic.
