Too bad C&A is no more
Unless Im wrong ?
These are ACL ? Supposedly good stuff and one of the few XS for mains and incremental trimetal race.....
Ive seen ugly, Ive just never see "preburnt" lol.....when you take a low run engine apart with these and havent seen em PRIOR , well they look like things are going badly.....the damm blue is irridecent in the light and like I said all edges mostly, they must heat them in their treatment thats all I can guess.
The grey blue on the Clevites Ive seen and that well I would have known but even the backs are "stained" like they were hot.....
Well now I know what they went in like....so Ill have a better idea when I see them on the pavement

I've tried them all........used those mostly because they are easy to get and reasonably priced and hold up fine....for the most part.
I tried something different in my LT-1 Stocker.....I think they were Federal race bearings......270 degree groove on the mains......that engine went well over 100 runs with no problems and saw over 7000 every run....Car was sold.....
Best bearings I've used on a customers 454 engine.....C&A's.........went hundreds and hundreds of runs with no problems.....and this racer had some failures here and there that was pretty costly. A very heavy car that wheelied all the time.....and could run high 9's.....
