I知 doing my first basic simple rebuild of an engine and had a question about the proper bearings to use.

I知 planning on using a D16A6 block and crank with D16Z6 rods and pistons and wanted to know which main and rod bearings to use and should I use the Z6 rings?

same crank, same bearings, same piston, same rings.

So use the A6 bearings for the crank and rods and the Z6 rings?

same bearing from same block. y are you using z6 piston? you want to change the compression?

I have a A6 block with crank and the Z6 rods and pistons are the only ones I could find at a decent price.

ok then, well as long as they are the same size rods you can use them, the pistons should be the same. I thinkn the rods are too but don't hold me on that...,

I was checking rings and they are the same for the Z6 and A6.

like I said before, not too sure on rods but sure the pistons are the same, so saying ofcouse the rings will be the same. just not too sure on rods as b18 ls are different then b18 gsr even tho they both have 1.8L engines.

I actually look on Hondapartsdeals.com and the Z6 and A6 rod part numbers were the same so I think I'm going to get A6 bearings and Z6 rings just to be safe

they are all the same. i mix and match all the time.
