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
