Alright guys i search and search and found no solid info on D-series clerances. I found that for Mains, the clearance should be .0015 - .0017. As for rod clearance i am just having major trouble finding solid info. So someone please help me out, do we just go for oem clearance on the rods?? or is there an ideal range?? well my situation right now is my eagle rods with acl bearings are reading .0010, .0014, .0015, .0014. I'm a little worry about the .0010

 

I would be too. Just order the next size bearing for that one rod, you'll have to go with an OEM bearing.

 

helms manual should have those specs.

yea i got the manual but it recommends .008-.002 but we must keep in mind that this is for a stock engine, with boost we must run it on the loose side. so i have concluded that .0015-.0017 is good for rod bearing too.

 

.0015 is where I ran my rods and mains on my D series. It treated me good.

 

I set my rods to .0015" and the mains to .0017".

 

WRONG!!!!!!!
honda motors do MOT like anything on the loose side espeically bearings. Mine are .0050-.0065 MAX. you yes don't want to run it the tightest, but you want it in the very next section of the plasti gauge. On a honda running things loose jsut leave that much mopre room for viberation and that leades to parts failure. not to mention honda motors are ZERO tollerance motors. never ever go past the stock largest specs, the best way is to place it dead center at best.

Holy ****, i'm surprised it runs, does it have any oil pressure?
