alright i got a problem with my #4 cyl(turbo single vtec z6 with stock internals on a 99ex block), i had a bad bearing on the rod (low oil and no warning light), so i replaced it, and its still ticken and prematurely wearing the rod bearing over the course of 5 minutes idle time, i see this plastiguage and number matching table in my book, but the bearings i had bought were standard and dint have the color code. so i dont think im settin the right bearings in. any info will be greatly appreciated
i also replaced the rod because after measurement the rod was slightly ovaled out. the old rod had a number 3 stamped on it and the new one has a number 2. i dunno if that matters but just more info.

Umm is the crank scratched??

hatchedzex

no its polished to a mirror shine, the rod never came in contact with the crank, always had a bearing between the two

Kamin

did you check the clearances between the crank and the new rod? with this unknown bearing you put in you could have already spun it.

sounds like a spun rod bearing.

the bearing hasent spun, its like there is a gap between the rod bearing and the crank. i dont know how to measure the clearnes to get the right bearing in it
