hi!

i have purchased std clevite bearing for my b16a1 engine.i bought eagle rods also.
i have measured the clearance between the bearings and the crank and there is 0,004inch.it is very much i think.
please help me if you can.
thank you

 

Main bearing: Journals Number 1, 2, 4, and 5 should measure between 0.0009 - 0.0017 inch, while Journal Number 3 should measure between 0.0012 - 0.0019.

Rod bearings: Differ by engine, but about 0.0015 - 0.0020.

If you in fact are getting 0.004 they are too loose. Are you measuring the clearance with plastigage?

 

Does Clevite sell thicker bearings sets like ACL does?
Your going to need some seriously thick bearings to get you within spec.

 

i dont know exatly what is the problem.because i have ordered std beraings and the engine was fully working when i began to build it to turbo engine-

 

Did you use plastigage, and, did you use the correct plastigage for your range or readings?

If you use the wrong plastigage, your readings will be way off.

 

i have used dial bore indicator

dial bore indicator is good but always double check with plasigauge just to make sure.

 

the problem is that the clearance between old bearing and the crank is 0,0023

 

get OEM Honda bearings obly
the safe and true way to get the right clearances
