Default bearing decision help

i'm planning to do a build on my block. it's a h22a1, with benson sleeves, wiseco pistons (89mm, 12.0:1 cr), h23a1 crankshaft, and crower maxi-light h23 rods. here are some of the sites that i have found oem bearings for:

http://www.pagparts.com/perfpt...eid=4

let me know if there are other sites to find them. i need sugestions on getting the best bearings for my build. thanks.

i got another question. the h23 crankshaft is knife-edged and lightened. i tried to see if i could see the difference of the stroke but did not notice any difference. how do i tell the difference between my old h22 crankshaft and the h23 custom one?

your best bet is find a friend that works at a car dealership and have them walk over the honda area and buy all your parts for you at employee prices. check http://www.slhondaparts.com

the only way to check the crank is measure the stroke. which isn't easy

who knife edges a h23 crank anyway

Why would you use anything other than Honda bearings?

Especially for a turbo application.

Have you guys seen pictures of that crank? He posted it in another thread. I've never seen a lightened crank like it. I'll see if I can find it.

Found it! Who the hell lightens a crank like this???

By the way, a machine shop should be able to measure the stroke for you easily. If not, just measure the distance between BDC and TDC on the piston and that'll tell you the stroke.

i got it from autoraceparts.com, but somehow i can't find the site any more. they said it was balanced already, but i'll have it balance again before installing it. btw, i think scats does their honda crankshafts like that also. check it out (you might have to click honda crankshafts).

After seeing that I will be starting a business doing Honda Crank work.
Here are my recently purchased tools of the trade that will make my job easy and precise.
You can start shipping your cranks to me ASAP as I am anxious to get started.
