i have a h22a4 with spun rod bearing on #3. Is it worth fixing or should i just get another engine. if i could find a crank i could use it. cant find any h22a4 cranks except form honda they are 800$
i have a local shop that turns cranks he say .010 could clean it up but we cant find bearings to fit after machining
If any one knows where i can get the thicker bearings at i will have it turned

 

see if you have a 98 or newer motor 55mm mains or 50mm mains if 55 mains then get an f23 crank which is easier to find

 

a local junk yard has a h23 with can i use that botom end with my head

 

i have a h22a4 50mm main crank
pm me

 

ok i am going to take my micrometer home from work to check the sizes i dont know the size of it yet. i do know the engine came from a 97 base model prelude

 

call honda with the vin and they will tell you

 

if it came out of a 1997 it has 50mm and you can use a h23 crank with h23 rods or ant h22 crank thats 97 and older. PM me if your interested i have a bunch of cranks from h22 and h23. cheap. Im in SC

 

the vin shows that it is a 97
is the 97 up h22a4 all open deck
i am very interested it the h23 stuff, i just want to know can i use my pistons on them since i have floating wrist pin. i own a machine shop so i can open the h23 rods up and bush them.

The h23 rods have the pistons still on them so i sent you everything. Thanks

 

cant wait

 

i have oversized bearings if interested. i have .25mm oversizied and .050mm
and standard sizes. oversized are clevite bearings and the standard is acl

 

dont u mean undersized bearings? i thought bearings were undersized and pistons and what not were oversized.

 

no. bearings are oversized. and these i have are oversized.

 

no its definitly standard size bearings and undersize bearings. maybe thats why the op couldnt find bearings because he was searching for oversized not undersized. anytime u do a regrind on a crank u always use undersized bearings.

u measure the bearings by inside diameter. so if u take metal off of the crank than how does the inside diameter get bigger? it doesnt therefore the term undersized bearing because the inside diameter is smaller.

 

if taking .010 off would clean it up than i would do it and just get the according bearings. .010 isnt that much.

most bearing companys sell undersized bearings. i know for a fact acl sells undersized bearings up to .25. they may not advertise for them but they do sell them just call them up.

 

sorry i understand now. i was just thinking if the take off .010 my crank that would make my bearings .005 thicker. i understand now any way i got a good crank for 75$.I paid 50$ for engine and 75 for crank the guy even trew in the pistons and rods. h2b here i come
