Okay guys, i need to know the clearance for h22a bearings. Buying some plastigauge and need to know what colour/size is should be buying. I'd just check my helms for the answer but i am at work until after the store closes so if i can get the spec he will go buy it for me. Please help guys, i'd like to finish the motor tonight

 

honda range is .0011''-.0021''

.0015'' preferably

 

Thanks, it appears green is the colour i want to buy.

 

I have another question. What temperature are those specs at? The temp of the motor will have an affect on the clearance. What is proper engine building temp?

 

Refer to the size codes on the crank. Use the chart in the Honda SM to get correct bearing. Its hard to decipher the colors on old bearings.

 

The crank was serviced for standard sized bearings. Standard sized bearings were used. Readings were done last night and came back at a perfect 0.038mm or 0.0015 inch.

 

If you measured .0015" Go with the bearing you used to measure. But Honda doesnt have a standard size bearing. They have four sizes. If you give me the size codes, I will let you know what colors to buy, and then remeasure to be safe. But youre good with .0015"

 

Honda doesn't but Clevite and ACL both do make a standard sized bearing. I ended up going with Clevite since ACL's are on back order for h22a1's and h22a's. Everything is all sorted out though. All the bearings have perfect clearance and the motor is now assembled.

Thanks for the replies guys
