Default CVH main bearings, ACL - Glyco????

.


Just giving an Escort RS turbo a rebuild and ordered ACL heavy duty big ends and mains bearings but when they arrived the mains were Glyco, looks like there company put there own label on the box but it's not the part number I ordered, there correct for what I need but never used these before as every engine I've built I've always gone for ACL's.

Anyone ever used Glyco, and are they ok?????


Cheers,


Ginger

I had a receipt for glyco bearings in my first rs and I had no knocks when it was running, also I've never heard of bad things from them

Glyco are a part of federal mogul, along with AE, Goetze, Payen, etc. Their bearings are very nice, but are often more expensive than ACL. You shouldn't have any problems with them at all
