simbasupra Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 After a bit of clarification on replacing crank, conrod and thrust washers. From what I can tell from other posts acl and clevites are better quality than oem. However oem has lots of options in thicknesses to get clearances spot on. Would you guys fit new stock, acl or clevite bearings and thrust washers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 They are all fine, the variations on the stock shells are so small they become pretty irrelevant on a used crank, I have used all of them with no noticeable changes in performance, oil pressure or longevity. The Australian (ACL) ones are no more, the company has folded, just remaining stock around now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
