These bearings seem to be haunting me down:roll:
I initially left it in the hands of a well respected UK tuner to supply me all the parts i needed for my engine built. I was supplied with 17mm ACL bearings. He claimed that the 17mm are better then the 19mm since they create less friction.
Well, after reading and searching on this subject, I opted to go for the 19mm. At that time I didn't know ACL produced 19mm version so i bought the standard set this time from a well respected shop in UK.
My engineer/builder finally started building my engine so I went over to his workshop to make sure we have all the parts needed. we opened up the boxes of the standard 19mm bearings and he pointed out the bearings do not look very "healthy"...
Basically the surface is discoloured like they were rubbed against something. Surface is still smooth to the naked eye/hand

Should I replace them and buy my third set of bearings:doh: ?
