Hi all,

Im rebuilding my cossie lump, need to get some new main & big end bearings. I see there are a lot to choose from but which are the best quility/valve for money. Burtons are expensive, Graham Goode seem reasonable.

Thanks

 

I use Glacier Vandervell when doing my engines, usually get them from Graham Goode

 

i ve mahel bearings in my new engine, i got mine from matt lewis.
but i also ran pinto bearings for over 5 years,never had an issue,and that was with over 400bhp too,
only reason for my rebuild was my block cracked

 

just make sure you measure them all to make sure clearance is good...all of the ones metioned are good....plastigage and the right micrometer are your friend. if your not sure find someone who is IMO.

 

Mahle's are fine; matt lewis is your best bet

 

Ł227 from Matt Lewis there Mahle

 

I have used ACL in the past with no issues

 

ACL's in mine

 

Just rung Graham Goodes, they say there's are Mahle. Ł50 a set so that will do me.

 

not a chance are they the same bearings that matt lewis is selling at Ł227

 

Got him to put it in writing via email.

 

When they say a set.............are you sure they have that right ????

Are they talking Big & Little End Rod bearings or as mentioned + Crank bearings ?

If Big & Little then the VAT...........that would be Mahle at around the same price at Matt Lewis.

To be fair to Matt - GGR would work out more expensive

 

Set of 10/8 MainsLinky BigendLinky

 

Just Crank then............if they are Mahle - I'd say get them

I think Matt Lewis is costing for the full Bottom End - which is a good price.

 

ACL,s in mine too

 

+1 - Think I got mine from Woodford though.

 

Has any one else had problems with acl race bearings? Do they require a high pressure oil pump or is standerd fine?

 

no need for HP oil pump IMO

 

Okay cheers
