King are ok from what I have heard. I have used genuine Nissan with no problems either. Or even ACL are ok alot of people will tell you they are rubbish though, It's your choice, Money and motor.

Old post.. I'm running King bearing HP bearings the rb30. Its now done ~45,000km's without drama's. I do remember when looking at the range king had at the time their standard range were a trimetal where as the highperformance range were bi-metal. The bi-metal are the ones I went for. So far so good.

Whats the part numbers on the clevites. I looked in to those when I was building up my rb30 but was told they didn't do them for the rb30. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
