I've used them with no problem. On 2 CVH builds in fact so certainly one to add to the list. Just be aware King make many "versions" from cheap OE through to "race" spec etc so just double check you're happy with what you're buying

something to bare in mind is some of the rs turbo blocks have 0.4mm oversize main bearing housings due to a manufacturing balls up at fords, should have it stamped on the back of the old bearings if you have them still, if not its best to get the housings measured just to be on the safe side
