Acl Race Barings

[Rancher]

Hi guys,

So next saturday I pick up my nice new shiney RB20DET, alas, in pieces (head off). Apparently, it was imported by Hardcore, and has only done 34,000k's. I dont believe it, but for $500 for turbo, motor, ecu, all manifolds, and wiring loom, you cant complain.

So anyway, I have decided to rebuild it with new things before I stick it in. I dont wanna have problems with it later on down the track. I am going to do head work to it. IE, port and polish, cam regring and maybe new valve springs and seals. I have a Tomei 1.8MM metal headgasket lined up for it, and some kinda new Oil pump (My oil pump on the last engine shat itself, I dont want that again). I am gonna give it a light hone, and new rings aswell.

So, Ive come to barings. Now, my father has told me he doesn't know the diff between stock new RB barings, and the ACL race barings. What is the diff? I mean, for an extra $150 bucks alltogether for the ACL main and big ends, its ok. But I wanna know, is it worth it over the stock ones?

Any help would be good. Maybe tips on what other things I should be doing to it before I put it back together and into my S13. I don't want forgies, as I have no use for them.
