i'm getting a different crank because i had a spun bearing on mine. can i put on my rods without worrying about which place on the crank it goes. the reason for this is because my rods are not being reconditioned. btw this is for a b16

 

check the bearing clearance...

 

check first the clearance ,using plastic gauge ,(FOR THE BEARINGS)

 

the clearance is definitely going to be checked. i was asking because, i was taught that if u rebuild an motor, the rods haves to go on the same place that it was taken off the crankshaft. And, if you recondition the rods, it doesn't matter. any inputs??

 

what do you mean by "recondition the rods"?
