Everyone has their opinions but most Honda oem parts are the way to go. They've been through years of research, design, stress testing, etc. Now I am NOT talking cast pistons vs forged pistons. Though the S2000 and K20 pistons are great. I could go on and on but you should understand what I am trying to say

yeah i understand. it wasn't the bearings that did it in it was the crank. but ever sense then i've just viewed them badly. and OEM bearings and ACL bearings are about the same in cost. and forged pistons FTW! OEM pistons are good it's just the factory rods that suck in every honda. those HAVE to be replaced no matter what lol.

you got that backwards stock pistons suck the rods are made very well the rods can handle more power then the pistons can.and oem bearings dont cost near the price of acl/clevite oem rods are about 100$ as for acl are around 35$

I peronally like the oem bearings. Just be cuz all of the stock rod ends are diffrent sizes as are the crank journals and main journals. And you can use the honda markings and their tables to get the correct bearing
