The ACL bearings comes out a little tighter than 1 thousand of an inch on all the mains on my motor. Which bearings to get?

Looking at this: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=715490 it seems to me that if I chose "pink" bearings instead, I would get around 0.6 thousands more clearence than the ACLs (If the ACLs really are the same as OEM greens). Just wanted to know if that is correct before ordering new bearings. Thanks.

Someone with engine building experience must know this.

What do you think about this??? i'm building my lsvtec and i really want to get the right bearings. and someguy in H.T gave me that info...

 

Thanks for the link.
If your motor needs green bearings the ACLs will be fine I have read.
This is a good read: http://forums.evans-tuning.com...light
You can also see which clearences are acceptable in that link.

Back to my question...

 

did you precrush them before mesuring clearance

 

Precrush? I never heard of that before. What do you mean by that?

 

before installing crank and mains. you torque the mains down with the bearings first to seat themin th cups

 

If you are getting a bit tighter than 0.0010 say 0.0008-0.0009"--try the HX race bearings--they are 0.001" looser so your clearances will be around 0.0018"-0.0019"--which is good. the ACL Hx

 

I guess I'll try out the ACL race then. Same clearences after "precrushing".

 

i'm building a lsvtec since i'm using high CR pistons and eagle rods the mechanic told me to buy ACL bearings... Now my question is ACL got stokl and 0.25mm (.010") O/S sizes which one should be better???
