hi.. i am running a boosted zc.. and i am currently rebuilding it due to an oil pump failiure..

plastigauging the clearences and i am getting the 0,025mm reading (0,001 inch i think)
on the crank main bearings.. the rods are from eagle and the bearings are acl and i cant find a exact number for the clearences that i need to have..

i have tried searching and just ended up with more questions..


so i am wondering..

-can i use the clearing that i have on the main bearings?
-what clearing should there be on the rods?



thanks a bunch in adwance!

 

.001" (equivalent to .025mm) is too tight. The tightest you would want is .015" (.037mm). The Eagle rods are usually equivalent to #3 stamp on a Honda rod. You should use Honda bearings. They permit you to select your bearing clearances in .0002" increments.
