OK BUT I NEED WHAT COLORS ARE WHAT CLEARENCES SO WHEN I MEASURE EVERYTHING I KNOW WHAT I NEED.... BUT THANKS FOR THE INFO ON THE BLOCK AND ALL.... I JUST ALWAYS GOT MY .020 BEARINGS AND WAS FINE BUT NOW HONDA IS BEIN A PAIN IN THE *** AND I CAN'T GET MY BEARINS FROM THE PLACE I USED TOO

 

Just to reiterate what others have told you, there are (in your case 7) variations in the size of the crank and their corresponding bearings. You have to get the bearings that fit your size crank. This information is stamped somewhere on your block.

I'd seriously recommend getting a Helms, or at least finding someone with one and looking at the relevant pages.

 

you need to get the crank and block speced so you know what clearances you need then you can choose what bearings to use.

 

I AM PLANNING ON BUT THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I GO TO GET THE BEARINGS THEY ARE JUST COLOR CODED AND THERE IS NO SPECS ON WHAT COLOR IS WHAT CLEARENCE

GET A HELMS MANUAL AND TURNOFF YOUR DAMN CAPS LOCK!!!!!

 

Just get the specs first, before you buy the bearings. This way you do not have to waste any money. Take you specs to Honda and they will tell you what bearings you need.

 

Yes, bearings are color coded - each color corresponds to a different size. The color key for your particular engine is explained in the service manual.

If you've got a B16A3 I can tell you the key is from my Helms, but otherwise, you need to get the key for your particular engine. I'd seriously recommend getting your own Helms service manual if you plan on keeping your car - any question you'll ever have is answered within it.

Some particularly hard-up members mentioned links to websites where you can download sections of Helms manuals in a recent thread. Of course I mentioned that this was illegal, and that the manual wasn't all that expensive, and immediately got personal attacks. I guess they're not paying fast food fry cooks like they used to.
