Has anyone had any experience using Taiho Kogyo brand bearings? In this or any other application? I ordered my BEB's and bolts through a well known JDM/Import parts supplier and these are what they sent. After reading through this thread and seeing all the regular guru's recommending the ACL's I am questioning if I should return these?
Pretty sure ATEB has been has been installing Taiho bearings for many years, if there was a quality issue it would have shown up by now. That they are made in Japan in reassuring in itself.
Can't find any composition info on em.
I'm running them.
They are Japanese.
I have another set for my 75 waiting too.
The reason for the proliferation of ACL is pretty simple. The problem first surfaced in Australia and ACL is an australian brand.
IMO any good brand is fine, just keep replacing them at 100,000km intervals. These engines are hard on BEB's.
just do them, 4 hours of dirty work and $100 bucks.
....and report back for the rest of us![]()
Is this something that needs to be done every 100k, or just the initial 100k from new ?.
If you don't want to worry about a bearing failure, do it every 100,000kms.
X2... Or just read the last few posts or search mud.![]()
I believe these engines either had the problem or they didn't. Total crap shoot.
Good thread with good info, I already got 1 HD-T to retrofit on my LX, so, after read this thread it looks like it made sense to do the BEB's ones the engine is on stand.
I wonder if somebody could provide me with the name or link to buy the ACL 6B8396 supplier, please?
thanks
You don't need ACL. Any good brand will do. The reason ACL is mentioned so often is the problem originally surfaced in Australia and ACL is an Australian company.
Fit anything, check the clearances and check it in another 100,000km.
