Rod bearing clearence
Hi, Rebuilding my LS/VTEC turbo, and I'm having a hard time with the rod bearings. I tried ACL race STD and King STD and the clearances are way off.

I'm getting .001 on the green plastigage.

Re: Rod bearing clearence
I don't have the equipment or the knowledge to select the OEM ones.
I've reading threads how to but, I'm a little confused.

Re: Rod bearing clearence
even after that you can probably go a color or so looser. I use the hx's for my rods they as hatchy said they usually get between .0018 and .002. ive found they measure right about between oem pink and red.
