Crash Bandicoot Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Stripped my engine down completely, time to rebuild, any suggestions on what main bearing to use, aiming for near the 1000bhp mark... Is the standard crankshaft any good for this power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Fine at that power mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Bandicoot Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Ideal. Think I'm going to go for Clevite tri metal bearings as they're reasonably priced and have good reviews. I know the ACL race bearings are probably more suited to that sort of power but at £250 just for mains and the company now fallen apart I may give them a miss...

Crash Bandicoot Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 What's the difference between normal Clevite bearings and Clevite H bearings? They mention oversize crank fillet on the H series... What is oversize crank fillet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 By "crank fillet" they mean the rounded section between the main bearing journal (or crankpin) and the crankshaft web. It's rounded to avoid the stress that would be caused if it was a sharp corner. http://www.camarohomepage.com/ls7/images/784.29b.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Bandicoot Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 ^ that's valuable info! so oversized fillets would come on an aftermarket crank? I'm sticking with the standard crank so would need standard size (uprated) bearings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have King Racing Bearings available from stock for the Crankshaft, standard size and costing £89.59 delivered to forum members, they are similar quality and price to the ACL's, if not better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
