I'm trying to figure out which rod bearings to buy, and am confused. In the helms, it says the crank should be marked with "a, b, c, or d". My crank is marked "x" in 3 places.

I'm guessing that its because of the eagle rods in the motor. I "thought" the cranks were marked from the factory, but did a engine builder do this?

Also, the eagle rods are not marked, so how do you figure out which bearing to order?

Thanks for any help.

 

up we go

 

Crank has probably been turned

 

ITR cranks use W, X, Y, Z instead of the usual A B C D ... look into another manual.. preferably an Acura/Honda manual.. it will show you how to cross reference the bearing colors. hope that helps.

 

ahh... must be an ITR then.

thanks for the info.
