I am currently rebuilding my D16A6 for boost, and I am now looking to buy the rod and main bearings. I noticed most people run ACL, but which ones? There are 2 versions, Duraglide 780 and Race. What do you recomend for a boosted engine? (I'm looking to make about 275 WHP)

I believe the 'race' bearings are for tighter clearences; i'd say go with the regular ones (within factory specs) for a DD

OEM Honda bearings. The only bearing I will ever run in a Honda motor. :TU:

If you are building a race motor you can get the clearance you need by getting the correct colored bearing.

OEM makes dialing in the clearances easy.

I was looking into OEM at Majestic Honda, but it didn't show different colors, it shows letters. Whats that about? Plus it looks like twice the price.

i ran honda bearings in the rebuild i did last year.

if you give acl's a try at least use plastigage to check the clearance.

Okay thanks for the help! So If I get the colors of my old bearings, or match the #'s on the block to the color and order those, I should have the correct bearings. So now I decided that I am going to run an OEM head gasket also. The problem is my engine is bored .20 over. I didn't see a gasket for .20 over on majestic honda or on the link above. Is the normal oem gasket okay? BTW I did see a tread about this a while ago, but I can't find it right now. I don't know if it ever got answered anyway.

king motorsport or OEM

King Motorsports doesn't make bearings, King does.

Talk to Bone about the current OEM bearings...

You know, I remember a thread a while back about the new OEM bearings being made by a couple of different companies. Is that what you are refering to? I thought there was one type that was no good. Where do you get King bearings? Thanks everyone for all the replies!!!:TU:
