I'd just go with the ACL, they're probably much cheaper. The Race bearings are probably larger tolerances. I'll say it this way... Sloppy stuff makes Power! Go with the OEM if you don't want to tear her down for a little while

WEAK SAUCE MAN!! Why build a motor if your not going to do it right ? Honda engines have some of the tightest clearences for a reason. if you go and just "get some barings" Your engine will not last long. especially if your boosting it. **** is right, better do it the hard way so you dont have to do it twice.

****, good attempt. It seems no matter how many times this color code thing is explained, the noobs never learn until they want to know.
If you can make a complete write up on how to do the color code ----, I'll put it up on my site and archive it. It's info I would love to have up there so I don't have to read about it anymore. I'll work something out with you on a gift certificate or something. Lemme know.

the race bearings are for race motors, ones that get torn down and rebuilt quite often. just go with oem.

I'm making my decision to go with the ACL races based on this thread:
