b16a1 help
i am rebuilding my b16a1 engine and i went to order the bearings from honda and i found out they are color coded which means that there are different thickness. from my understanding is that green is standered.
i am not doing this rebuild because i have no time to do it myself and need the car back as soon as possible. the garage that is rebuilding it is a honda specialist but i'm worried that he will not put the right bearing in the right place. because there could be multiple colored (thickness) on the crank or rod.
so my question is if he doesn't install them in the right order how bad is it? will my bearings wear faster or will i have problems down the road?
i know the aftermarket ones just have one size. i have rebuilt this engine about 2 years ago using aftermarket parts and the bearings looked like **** and the head gasket was shot. so i refuse to use aftermarket parts because they do not hold up as well as honda parts do.
so any info on how important the color code is will be helpful
i don't want to rebuild this engine 2 years down the road again
thanks for your time
