Default Engine builders needed!

Ok so I have done some more reading and have a few questions to ask.

I had a well known engine sleeving and building company build my short block. The block is sleeved and fully built, blue printed and balanced.

Question is do these main bearing clearances seem ok?

M1: .0022
M2: .0023
M3: .0023
M4: .0021
M5: .0023

Bearings are ACL race bearings

Oil recommened is 10w-30. That gonna be ok?

Oh and rods are all at .0018

Keep in mind it will be a weekend warrior/track car only. Motor will be boosted and whp goals are trying currently for 500whp.


EDIT: Block is a B18A sleeved with stock crank and eagle rods.

It looks as if your rods are on the tighter side. Not sure bout the mains.

Also I woulda opted for oem bearings. Im sure its too late, but I know people that learned the hard way with acl's

They all are pretty good. Your rod bearings are in spec too but more towards the tighter side as mentioned. You should be good though, I almost have the same as you do

There is a good read on choosing oil I found on team integra but I bet there is something like that on here too. Let me know if you want to see it. It is about a 30-45 minute read though lol

ACLs are fine, mains seem good to me, maybe a bit tight on the rods, like .020 would be better
