I know there are many that have not experienced issues with King bearings and will vouch for them. Due to the issues, others and I have experienced with King bearings, I have not used them since 2017. My "to go" bearings are ACL, Clevite, and when I can find them, Speed Pro. In 2017, we had issues with several Trophy Truck engines with King Bearings. Switched to Clevite and ACL and no more issues. The pictures below are issues that some other engine builders have experienced with King bearings: |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Thanks. It looks like plenty of end gap on the lower ring in the cylinder on pic number 4.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
With the exception of one gage acting a little funny, we don’t know why, Bob Toy did a perfect job of rewiring the pink car. Everything worked the first time after we found a defective part or two.
Thanks Bob Toy |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
We finally got to go down the track with the pink car, after a trans change, rewiring, scaling, and suspension components change. Everything worked as advertised. We are ready to go racing!

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Got my gage back from Classic yesterday. I will plug it in and bolt it up, it should take less than 5 min.
We will be going to St. Louis for the Class Racer Revival next week, for the money you can't beat it. You can enter at the gate. We get to be back on Dumbo's engine today. |
