I need .001 oversize bearings for my build to get the correct clearances and the only place I can find them is from King. I have never used King bearings before and they recommended the HP series bearings. Anyone else use King good or bad?
The only Carbs I care about are under the hood!

On my last build (416) I used King.. this was the first time for me.. I did have the pan off to fix a leak and I pulled a rod cap to take a look... they looked great

yes, they get great reviews. I just sent back my King rod bearings because they had some taper in them. I had .001+ bearings which gave me .0033 clearance. I'm getting standards in return.
I bought them at Nashville engine warehouse for $71. When you say taper do you mean there are more clearances across the bearings at the rod cap lines than straight up and down? If so most Mopar rod bearings (Tom Hoover or Larry Shepard called them thier Delta Wall design bearings  ) are designed to have that feature intentionally  It is suppose to provide a extra cushion of oil there to wipe onto the bearing and crankshaft as the motor runs

Good to know, as far as I could find they are the only ones doing .001 oversize bearings for Mopar.
