King or Clevite? Why?
King or Clevite? Why? I've only built 1 motor (sbf 347) and its still alive and raising hell. My sbf machinist and mentor suggested I stick with clevite on that build. Now I'm rebuilding an ls motor with no guidance but the interwebz.
I can find King main/rod bearing kits for $68 shipped, or clevites for $100.
I'm not really too concerned with the price difference there.
Is there a "better" choice of the two? And do both brands come in .0001 +\- sizes?
I'll be using them on a rebuilt ls1/6 in a truck for street only use.
I know everyone one has their personal preferences, but it would be nice to hear why you prefer them.
Suggestions?

can't really say which is better. using clevite H's in my build.
but from my experience, you have to do clevite H if you're after 0.001" undersize....the P's are not offered in that size.

I found these when I was searching for .001 tighter bearings. I assume since I'm running old used parts I may need to run at least a half shell tighter to take up some of the slop.
Do you know where I can find a .001 tighter rod bearing?
Cant go wrong with either. Some builders swear by clevite, some by king. I personally like King/ACL since that's all they make. Clevite is part of the Mahle family, also a good company. You can get any size from either brand. Measure the crank, bolt on the main caps and measure them, bolt on new rod bolts and measure them, order bearings accordingly.
