So you mean to say if I am to rebuild my engine, I have to get the full set of main bearings and conrod bearings?Could be conrod or main, it's a Honda forum so it makes sense to be talking about honda bearings.
for those bearings you should be able to get away with acl's except maybe the last one which you said should be black. the acl may be to loose.Iam doin the same process at the moment, generally if you check the crank and block you will get the colour codes for the Orignal Honda bearings used on the crank and rods.
This is what I got :
Crank worked out to be Brown Green Yellow Green Black
Rods worked out to be Green Green Yellow Brown
So I could order these direct from Honda or I could get ACL's but they would have to be within OEM spec once fitted.
when i tried ACLs, all my rod bearings spec'd fine. the main bearings were way too loose on 4 of them.for those bearings you should be able to get away with acl's except maybe the last one which you said should be black. the acl may be to loose.
i wanst so lucky, my acl's ended up being to tight on 3 of my rod journals. im going to use all oem honda bearings.
plastigage is your friend.
I hope my acls spec out fine................i got them with my rods, but it would stiull be nice not to have to go to the dealer for the rip off prices.when i tried ACLs, all my rod bearings spec'd fine. the main bearings were way too loose on 4 of them.
i think i had 1 black, 2 brown, 1 ACL(green), and maybe 1 blue. hard to remember now
Damned... Its sure is not as easy as I thought it was.i would also like to know this. I have the steel billet crower rods and i got acl bearings with them. I didnt pay real close attention, but i think the bearings are std size.
