5efe Crank problem
- Thread starter tip
- Start date
ACL Duraglide is a good choice.Hi Skalabala, so i found this set but it has no description..., do i get the whole set (crank and rod bearings) or just the rod bearings?
Here are the links:
Main bearings:

Rod Bearings:

can i buy these two? i cant find ACL...

You will need to email raceengineering and ask them.
But there is nothing wrong with Duraglide.
You will break other stuff before the bearing goes.
If the bearings gets the correct amount of oil and the correct oil you will NOT have problems!
A bearing is a bearing, makes use of hydro planing. Any good brand will do the job!
You can run 500HP with no problems, remember 5E journals are way superior to 4E as it is bigger.
And Race ACL is actually not the best thing to use, the bearing does not wear easily under insane loads and thus it eats the crank!

Do you know what the sizes are mate?
Hi does anyone know the Crank clearances for the 5e?
i brought a 5EFE crank to a machine shop and they told me that the clearance now is 0.003''. and he asked me if i wanted to regrind it 1st oversize or if i want to leave it how it is..., what should i do? (i don't know much about engine building jet.)
i've read somewhere that the clearance should be 0.002'', but i'm not sure.

Skalabala, would you prefer to see closer to 0.006" then as standard clearence? Why would it be better to run a tighter oil clearence? Will it prevent the bearings from starving of oil?
Do agree the 0.002" is a fairly large clearence and bearings would be better off being replaced earlier or atleast checked.

The smaller the clearance the stronger the hydroplaning effect gets and thus the chance of having metal to metal contact gets less.
0.006" = bearing knock!
And boost can squash the oil in the bearing and then you get metal to metal contact. Same with high revving.
A good clearance that is strong for hydroplaning and ample oil to lubricate and cool is 35 microns on a 40mm journal.
