Has anyone heard of king bearings are they good or bad

 

never heard of them, i'd not use them. what are they? engine bearings or roller bearings?

 

EDE these are engine bearings offered by powerhouse made in israel. just never heard of them myself

 

Clevite, TRW, Federal Mogul. Those are what I'd stick with instead of trying to save a few bucks in the crank area. That would probably never turn out as an economical move.

 

I'd never use anything not American made in the reciprocating assembly, especially not something as super-critical as bearings.

 

even if you were buying the high dollar bearings it'd still be in the 100 dollar range. like was already said i'd stick with clevite, FM ,C&A

 

Man, I need to get out more often. Childs and Albert has bearings, too?

 

Heh, for about 50 years now.

 

If you're referring to "King Bearing"...a distributor of bearings, seals, etc...you can specify who/what/etc make of part you want with them. Good folks to deal with.

Never heard of a manufacturer called King Bearing.

 

There is, in fact, a manufacturer called King Bearing, it is owned by a guy named Chris King... only problem is, he manufactures high-performance bicycle bearings!

 

There is also a company that makes bearings for small block chevies and the like....called King. usually use the King Alecular bearings.....they are expensive but i've heard are one of best. Up there with the coated Federal Mogul and the like

 

Cleavlite 77- rods and mains under 40 bucks from summit. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be different

 

I would like to call everyones attention to www.kingbearings.com
and then tell me what you think of these bearings. Looks and sounds better than some of the bearings some of you folks have mentioned. Since I will put this 305 together with these bearings I will let everyone know how it goes. If they work well I will put them in my stroker 383 that I am assembling this winter.
