King Bearings? So after doing a search on this company, I've found that they are preferred by Lunati, so that should say that they are good, and also I believe TR uses them, but I've never heard of them. I've only heard of Clevite, and Federal Mogul. A stroker kit I was looking at uses the King Areculars and was wondering if they have a good reputation?

I know of a 1500+ HP drag car running them with zero problems. I've used them several times without bearing wear after 52 races on a circle track application. I wouldn't have any problem useing them on a engine build.

I used a set of 360 degree oil groove mains in a 383 LT1 I built, no problems. I have heard they are softer then clevite or FM. Higher embedability.
I work for Jasper Engines & Transmissions, we install King bearings in certain oversizes on Chevy 305s, & 350s. Building 70 engines a day.

I got the Lunati stroker kit and it came with King rod bearings. The bearings are made in Israel. Five of them had raised bumps on them so I threw them away and got some Clevites.
