Need help with plastigauge results...
In the process of building a motor, my first one, need a little help here, trying to make sure I can get the bearings sized right, just wondering if these results seem ok. I used the original bearings, not new ones, just to see if I can get a ballpark here.
The specs in the manual are
#1 and 5 - .0007-.0014"
2,3,4 - .0009-.0017"
This is what I get off the used bearings and their codes as I took them off the block and crank codes.
#1 - Pink - .0015
#2 - Green - .002
#3 - Yellow - .002-.0025 (somewhere between)
#4 - Green - .002
#5 - Yellow - .0015-.002 (somewhere between)
Honda's numbers are a bit more precise than I can find plastigauge for, so I used the green thread (.001-.003").
These bearings have ~70K on them. If I order the same colors as new should I be alright for a starting point? They seem a little loose, I almost wonder if I screwed up.
