I'm building a motor and I had the machine shop micropolish my crank. What I didn't ask is, should I run .25 over rod bearings, or should I stick with std. clearance? Hopefully someone can just quickly answer this.

 

The obvious anwser would be to ask your machine shop.

I don't think he is in today, I'd sort of like to order them, but thanks for the typical, completely and totally USELESS honda-tech answer.

 

thats a bit harsh dude, its difficult to tell without seeing the crank or taking measurements from it

I realize that, I'm not asking for him to be a psychic or anything, I'm just asking what other people used, he barely took any off the crank, just enough to remove the pits. Maybe it's too specific of a question, I just figured that I wasn't the only person that has ever been in this situation and that maybe someone else would share some experience. Oh well.

 

thanks for the beer dude! i'd reckon its standard size you want but best just to double check before you order save having to do it twice

Yeah you're probably right, I should just call tomorrow and make sure.

 

or order both and send back the ones you don't need

 

or actually learn how to measure correctly and check the size yourself.

helms + google.com ftw

I don't have any tools capable of measuring to that small of an increment.

I'll just call the machine shop.

 

people go .25 over and make all the jornals the same size to get aftermarket bearings.. if you use stick bearing you have to get different bearing for each jornal.. this can be tedious..
