eagle crankshaft in b18 block? thrust washer or bearing problems?
i was told that the oem crankshaft has 2 different bearings and that if you use the eagle crankshaft will bind up and not spin is this true?

whoever told you that has no idea what they are talking about.
you need to select the proper size bearings/thrust washers for the the proper clearances no matter which crankshaft you use.

If the clearance is correct the eagle crank will fit and spin just like the oem.

what do you guys think of a eagle 95mm crankshaft
the block is a 84mm darton pro sleeve b18a1
with a 89mm crankshaft it will be 2.0 with the 95mm it will be alot larger
what kinda pistons do you need to run a larger stroke crankshaft

you need custom length rods (unless eagle makes rods already for the 95mm crank?) and you might also need some custom pistons with the piston pins in diffrent locations.

Re: eagle crankshaft in b18 block? thrust washer or bearing problems? (non-VTEC)
do you guys think that the eagle h beam rods are pretty good? if i upgrade the rod bolts?
also so i can use the eagle crankshaft ... they said sumthihng like the washers for the oem crankshaft have 2 different sizes but the eagle doesnt have 2 different sizes so it binds up and doesnt want to spin

The Eagle rods come with 3/8" arp 2000 bolts which will be fine unless its a 8 second car.
And I have no idea what you/they are talking about as far as the thrust washers.I would call 'them" back and see if they can clear it up.

Re: eagle crankshaft in b18 block? thrust washer or bearing problems? (NJIN BUILDR)
they the local race shop said this and i quote
the eagle crank goes not like the b18a due to the thrust washers. the oem crank has 2 different sized thrust washers, the eagle crank does not, therefore causing the crank to bind up & not spin.
make any sense at all?

I agree with NJIN. Find another shop as those guys seem clueless.
If this is for a turbo build, just use an oem crank. You will make more power than you can use with that crank anyway. Save your money for a large turbo.

I agree with Earl. OEM crank is all you need with an FI build.
