wow, just read some comparisons on ACL vs King bearings. seems the ACL's are all over the place lately when measuring bearing clearance compared to King bearings which seem to be very precise in clearance bearing to bearing.
IMO, Clevitte are no better these days, all over the map.
Tested a set of CB527HN recently against a vintage set of 15-20 yr old CB527H Bearings....
.0007" to .0008" Tighter Vertical Clrc in the same Rods.
then,
bought another set of CB527HN's from 3 years ago.... only .0003"to .0004" tighter...again, same rods.
and,
still using the vintage set as the "control" with the same rods.
My conclusion:
IMO, Clevitte Bearing overlays may be getting thicker ??
I just dunno here ?
But I recommend grinding Cranks smaller(even under lowside) to allow yourself "room" to get your Clrc.
