i am trying to buy crank and rod bearings for my k24. i bought the block with less than 3000 on it. i got it disassembled. i went to acura and honda to get pricing on them. i was told that i needed specific colors for the crank. does that matter? also when you buy bearings to they come in a pack of 2 or just 1? My r.o. says i bought 6 rod bearings, 6 upper and 6 lower crank bearings. does that make sence?

my total was $340 from dealership. hondaautomotiveparts.com was around $180

 

Yes, you need to know the colors you need, that is Honda's way of differentiating their thickness. You bought 6 upper bearings, and 6 lower bearings, so you have 6 complete sets of bearings, yes that makes sense. There are 2 things i do not understand though.

1. Why did you spend $340 on something you were unsure of?

2.They told you that you needed to know the specific colors to order, you didnt know them, yet they still sold you something?

 

i didnt buy them yet. i found some acl bearings . any one hear anything bad bout them?

 

You need 8 rod bearings and 10 main bearings. Having 6 rod bearings and 12 main bearings is not exactly what you need.
