OEM if you willing to spend the money for a proper buildup. But ACL greens works great too. Just spec them out with plastigage. Replace the ones that are not within spec. But last time i changed the bearings. It all falls into specs with the ACL's. Thumbs up for the ACL

Autohausaz.com has ACL D-series rods and mains for $49.50. Pick up a $2 seal and get free shipping for orders over $50.
The Clevite 77 tri-metal bearings have been used in a number of 500+ whp builds. Advanced Auto sells the D-rods in Clevite 77 tri-metal for $12.

You can find the Number stamped on the rod, and the letter stamped on the crankshaft, oh and BUY A GOD DAMN HAYNES MANUAL!!!

Re: d series rod bearings
i got rock brand rings/rod bearings/main bearings from a local machine shop for $105. very high quality bearings for the price. i would only use taiho/daido (OEM honda), the clevite 77, ACL, or the rock bearings. no vandervall glacier or any other ----.
but imo, the clevites are too hard for a turbo setup (if thats what you're doing), its too hard to accurately narrow the clearances down using them.

Re: d series rod bearings
Really, how do you figure that for the Clevites? I was under the ASSumption that they were sized green like the ACLs.
I liked the old Vandervell tri-metals, had a wee pile of those NOS for the Triumph junk I used to play with. Shame they don't make those anymore.
Ever used King Alecular bi-metal? I've pulled a couple sets of those out of $$$ builds... one of which had the crank turned 25 thou! On a Honda!
