ok ive tried searching and cant find the answer for this anywhere how high can you rev oem honda bearings i am building a comp 4 car and i am trying to figure out which bearings to run wether it be acl, oem, clevite any and all advice would be appreciated oh yea it is a sleeved gsr block crower rods wisco pistons with block girdle and stock gsr crank

 

run oem bearings, set your clearances right, and you'll be fine.

 

hey jared i dont know if you remember me or not i dealt with you a bit when you where at ride revolution i am the guy from knoxville with the crx its been a good year or so we had a clutch mix up between one of your employees and i but anyways how have you been what happen with ride revolution back to subject

i talked to 12 year veteran at the local honda dealership here in town and he said with the honda bearings to just use all green bearings that there is but a fraction of a difference in them and that is what they do at this perticuler dealership on any of their bottom end work that they have what is anybody elses take on this

 

my understanding is that every bottom end had a different clearence tolerence..If you just check the block, it will tell you..I wouldnt wanna go throwing green bearings in a block that calls for brown though..If you not sure then just mic the clearences and run clevites..there also a good bearing..

i am good. living in florida now, but im back in the tri cities area from time to time. DO NOT use just all green bearings. you need to have the clearances dialed in.

 

well i appreciat the advice guys that is what ithought as far as the color i know you can check the bottom of the block and the side of the crank and it will give you the color but i was just curious about the myth of all green

 

all green will work, its just not the "right way to do it"

 

i've seen too many failed acl bearing engines..including my own before i knew any better.

the 'once size fits all' DOES NOT APPLY HERE. acl's are one size.

honda sells all those colors for a reason

just use what your block/crank and your crank/rod says to use, 1 size looser is what i've been seeing done lately, done it to my last setup, turned 9700rpm for over 2 years with it seeing the track 2 nights a week during the summers

eagles are all 3's in case you need to know

my crank's rod journals was all c's (rods all 3s) so was 1 color all across, but my crank mains were 5 different colors...used a 98 crank in a 94 block..no problems
