S30TRBO Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I just talked to my machinist, he just got the crank back and I need bearings that are .010. For my turbo applications and high horsepower (400RWHP) is there a big difference other than price in comparing Nissan or Clevite bearings? I know Clevite are made out of tri-metal cast copper lead. What are Nissans made out of and does it really matter? My machinist said most of the import guys he deals with are using ACL. Has anyone used these and do they even make them for a Z? Recommendations? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffp Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I had Dave Robello research out the bearings when he built my short block. I wanted Clevite bearings and he said he could not find them. So I got him a vendor, anyway, the michigan bearings are rated at 7000 pounds per square inch of pressure they can withstand. The nissan bearings are rated at 9000 pounds andthe clevite 12,000 pounds. You be the judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30TRBO Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 Yea my machinest agreed, Clevite it is and he can get them to. He has been very impressed with them. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
