Well my choices here are down only between the 2 types ACL's. Besides ACL has won my trust over, lasting me nearly 50,000 very hard driven miles .

how are you running the correct specs with all green bearings(ACL) when almost all honda cranks have different journals

you can line bore/hone it to all the same diameter and also resurface the crank. I never done it but have read where stephan papadaskis did for his h22 AEM civic. Well thats years ago so maybe it was a trial thing. Prolly didnt work thats why he's a drifffffffer now
