Well, I'm very pleased that you want to know the bearings that I run, in which engine combination? Are you going to take the advice given on this or the other sites where you ask questions? What bearings do you want to run in what engine combination?
One bearing dosn't work for all applications & one brand sure doesn't have the magic bearing for all applications.

I didnt say what engine bearings do you run in a stocker, super stocker, bracket racer, nos engine etc

I just said an easy question, i will say it here so you can see it
"What engine bearings do you run ?"

I didnt even ask what engine bearing to run in my combo. I always run King or Clevite "V"

Magic Bearings, Where do people come up with this stuff at ?

So how can you come on and post that above ?

People come up with this stuff, because it depends on your engine combination. I thought what Adger said was perfectly valid. Your not going to learn anything if you don't know in what they use mentioned bearings. Were you just passing time, or trying to learn?

I build street engines , bracket engines and our own team engines. I was just trying to see how many use this or that regardless of application, Most everything out there is King or Clevite, Some ACL and Federal Mogul.

As to coated bearings someone mentioned, Yes i would like to know more about coated bearings. I liked coated piston skirts. Have not went much further with coatings

I know i have always used Clevite "H" and "V" bearings depending on application and i got so tired of problems i was having with sizing in Clevite i went to King Bearings and have had zero issues, Order an extra .001" and get .0009" to .001"

I still use Clevite "V" in high rpm engines pushing the limits with STEEL RODS, Street - Bracket etc where i would usually use an H i use King now. They seem much more consistent and last just as good as "H" bearings

That was kind of a generic answer I gave as Calico will coat whatever bearing you want
