King bearings 8ba rebuild

[Ol' Ron]

King bearings are very good and quite expensive. Considering the application soare stock bearings, All bearings must be fit to the crank, have good oil pressure. You pay your money and make your choice. Never used them.

When you say fit to the crank, do you mean turning the journals? This crank is standard, what would you suggest I do? The crank is currently at the machine shop getting cleaned and polished.

The main and rod bearings for an 8BA type engine are precision fit and if the crank is standard or a normal undersize no custom fitting will be necessary. Checking with Plasigage is always a good idea, but you should have no problems at all.
