Im on M3cutters mainly ,a British forum and have a build thread on there of my car, although I posted a write up on this forum of fitting M4 brakes on my '92 |

In the first page I have the information and results as well as targets. I don't recall them offhand.
Actually I did it a second time, on a forum member's car. In the case of BE bearings which are all I use, each one has been measured so I don't feel the need to measure again myself with a significantly less accurate process (plastigage) vs what BE did at the origin |

ive allready purchased oem shells, had a good deal on them but after reading many threads im inclined to go with ACL HX using ACL bolts, i use ACL bolts reguardless whether i use oem shell or ACL, far easier on the torque process, will be undertaking the job myself 4 weeks from now when i have 4 days off in the week , dont particularly want to go down the plastiguage route.

So far the standard arp bolts have been shown to distort the caps. The BE-ARP ones are specifically built to avoid that. No idea what ACL uses but be mindful they may be worse than oem bolts |

Yep understand BE is measuring their shells (is that to check within tolerances after coating?). According to BE and ACL spec assumption of shaft/housing tolerances, this is where a good portion of the possible stack up seems to be hence my wondering. Anyways, awesome DIY and interesting thread. |

Not a no brainer yet. Time will tell but the proof is in the data we collect on what the 2nd set of bearings look like after 50k miles. If for no other reason, the BE bearings are the way to go since you can use oil analysis as a tool to monitor wear.

I think VAC sells lead based clevite bearings as well. Not sure of the ACL material but it might be lead based also since it’s aftermarket. It may be that the only aluminum based bearing is the bmw one.

Yes, believe ACL has a lead-tin overlay. OEM 702/703 are the only I've seen that has a alu aloy on top. On the other hand, from what we've seen on the board oil test seems far from a secure way to identify the shell shape?

Probably an ok tool if you bought the car new and have a test from every change or you do a test at every change after replacing the bearings. I have never done a test and don’t plan to.

I know Bert was putting together a video just like this one. Not sure what happened to it. It might have been on these same shells above, but I'm not sure. I know he confirmed the Plastigage method was far off the bore gauge method on the same shells. That's been our experience. Your mileage may vary. |

It's an ok spot check but far from accurate. |
