Precision Bearings For Rb30 Twin Cam

[BMYHOE]

Hey Guys,

I just picked up my block yesterday from machine shop. i asked them to supply me with bearings to suit, when i went down there yesterday he had King Bearings - Precision bearings - i have heard of this brand just not to many people using them..

Should i use the bearings or should i just go back to him and get ACL?

Thoughts?

By the way motor has all bells & whistles etc etc with GT35R

nothing wrong with King bearings, cheap and pleny of people using them. As always it is the maching, measuring and cleanliness that matters.

BTW ACL are in liquidation and are not making new stock - so King are really the remaining choice unless you want to be reamed by Nissan

ok kool, thanks Duncan.

i will just use the king bearings.

Spool imports has new stock of acl rb30 bearings

[Duncan]

interesting...I'm willing to bet they don't have many. I just picked up the last set of rb26 ones from my machine shop's supplier. Mains from Adelaide, big ends from maroochydore

Another option is NDC, that's what we run in our 30s.

Thats odd. The local shop down the road just orderd me some new rb25 bearings from the factory in tasmania.... unless he is telling fibs!

I couldnt get ACL race series Rod bearings for my 30, had to get the dura-glides

[Duncan]

hey I'd be happy to be wrong on this one!

i live in tassy and yes unless the administrators turned it around, ACL has been liquidating.

strange thing is i just picked up my forged 30det with a set of acl big end and mains.

i know the the guys at the shop that built my engine and they wouldnt be fibbing to me so i should ask them whos still supplying them with acl bearings.

only thing i can think of is that many companys round australia had a heap in stock so its taking a while for them to disapear

[r33_racer]

Well i picked them up. They are what they said. acl race series mains and big ends.

[Duncan]

yeah got my acls today too. but like i said these ones were old stock.

[gobiz]

Got my ACL main and big end bearings today. Great service from Spool since im in a different continent.

They were made in May and 25 Nov 2010. So acl do seem to be making new stock.
