Also.. Over at ct.com ACL bearings are not thought of that highly.
However its a good price.
I'm certian you know what I went with:
Wiseco pistons, King HP bearings, rb25 cometic headgasket, std rods resized, block,rods & crank crack tested and all Heinz Balanced etc. That set me back ~$3500
Other bits on top, oil pump, vrs kit, head rebuild/porting, waterpump, cam belt, tensioners etc.
Adds up so quickly.
