are there 2 different crank sizes for a 97 and up obd2 h22???? 50mm and a 55mm?? is this true??

 

'97 cranks ... 50 mm (IIIIIIIII) '98 ---> ... 55 mm

 

who makes 50mm bearings?? the ACL ones i got for my h22 accord were way bigger then the stock ones i pulled out?

 

ACL has them though most sellers get confused or just don't know that there are the two diff h22a4 cranks.

The 50mm bearings are the same for all the 92-96 h22a1 motors as well as the 50mm h22a4 so you could be safe and just order them for a 92-96 h or f series.

 

i was confused and the tech at ACL was also! As far as he was concerned all h22's have a 55mm crank! the part number is the same for all of them that were standard!

 

wow i did not know that so i have a 98 therefore i have 55mm mains ?

yup, BUT there is one exception. according to Natalie some of the early 98 model years had 97 cranks/blocks in them.

qouted from another thread...

97 h22a4 has 50mm mains and all 98-01 have 55mm mains...so youre going to need to find out what year it came off of.

There is one thing that most people do not know....not ALL 98 models came with the 55mm mains....only the ones manufactured IN 98...the 98 models that were made in 97 (if the car was bought between sept and dec of 97 its a 98 model year) have the 50mm.

argh i know its frustrating! </TD></TR></TABLE>

 

i hope making this thread answered alot of question because i dont think ACL is going to switch them out for free since a bought there stock product??? So im out 80 bux!! oem ones are expensive. and that weird color scheme honda has for our bearings is crazy!! i want to run open deck in my cb7

 

so ACl is claiming that there is only one size?

 

YES

 

hmmn, try talkin to someone else then lol. I know for a fact that they have them, I've bought them several times.

 

i have a 98 SH produced in 97 h22a4 block. Its out right now should have the crank out this weekend, I will take some measurements and let you guys know.

 

well that is good to know that they have them!!! Can u please find the part number for me, because i cant find it anywhere!!

 

ACL part# for 92-96 h and f series std size = 5M1937-STD

ACL part# for 98-01 h22a4's with 55mm mains = 5M1957-STD


They don't list them on ACL's site for some reason, but get ahold of ebay user engine-dynamics-usa and they will be able to get them for you, I've bought from them in the past.

 

cool! i need to pick those up asap!

 

i think i might want one of those euro r intake manis u got! maybe the 500 dollar one. might spend just as much as a skunk2 intake mani and TB so i need to figure that out

 

ACL part# for 92-96 h and f series std size = 5M1937-STD. it turns out that they dont make race series bearings for that part number

 

whats wrong with regular ACL bearings?

as long as everything is within spec, there is nothing wrong with them...imo. They are about 200 dollars cheaper than oem, iirc

 

guess its up to the owner. but when see multiple thread of people having problems with them it turned me off them. when you go oem you arent taking chances. some of those threads had expierenced builders too

 

$185 for OEM bearings (mains/rods and thrust washer)
typical acl main bearing/thrust washer $99.
