That's true, the BE Clevite bearings were designed to produce a looser bearing clearance. But why are people paying more than twice the price for Clevite bearings when the ACL bearings produce the same result?
Both of them result in ~.0025" bearing clearance.
Both are lead/copper.
Is it just better marketing from one company? |
That is a good question.
I bought BE because it was the only proven extra clearance product at the time.
Now, I would likely still purchase BE with BE ARP bolts to support the people who spent the time and effort to provide the community with a viable alternative. I know I could save some money but I prefer to support the community members. Just a personal thing.
