Hey HT
I am confused on my rod bearing clearences after i plastigaged them and got this......
Bearing clearance on rod #1- .001in
Bearing clearance on rod #2- .001in
Bearing clearance on rod #3- .001in
Bearing clearance on rod #4- .001in
Somethings fishy to me, its either my plastiguaging skills suck or the clearences are all the same acrooss the bearings..?
I used the green plastiguage strip that said .001 to .003 inch clearance range.

 

So no one will tell me anything
This leads me to think that the bearings i got are to tight.........? And that i will have to order some biger bearings.

 

I would reply,but since you waited only 39 minutes before complaining that no is helping you , and on the 4th of July no less, I wont either.

 

What color are your stock or oem bearings? What bearings did you install?

 

Here we go again so on fourth of july u wont use ure brain to help out a person in need.
Yeah i understand that its the fourth of jully butt no need to be all mad about it
If youre not gonna help then no need to post.

I did more resherch and came up with what i posted in my second post
Im just really anxious to get this thing up and runing.
Has been down for almost 2 weeks.
Thanks guys

 

There is no collor on them
Wel theyre black on the botom of the bearing.
They came standard wen i bought some type r pistons with rods and standard rod bearings...?
I have a sett of used bearings that came out of the engine(has 124k miles on it) to put on some new standard rod bearings..?

 

Your plastiguage isnt too old is it? Ive heard of the stuff getting old and not keeping its "squish".
If those measurement are accurate, then yes your bearing clearances are too tight.
What color do you get when you match up the crank and block codes? Thinner than green?

 

Why did you change your response? You're not "a person in need". A person lying on the ground with a gunshot wound is someone in need. You're someone with a question about bearing clearances. I'll post all I want so long as amoeba like yourself continue to pollute these forums.

 

Your post does not make sense.
The codes on the crank and rods will determine what color oem bearings you should use.

 

Thanks for the help

 

I bought new plastiguage today in the morning so its pretty fresh...

 

DEFINE FRESH :D

fresh like... new popcorn? or fresh like "fresh veggies"

sorry had to do it

 

Um fresh like fresh of the "store shelf" fresh......

 

what are the codes on the crank and rods? What color oem bearings do the codes say you should be using?
