I understand that finding the correct bearing size is to match the rod size with the letters on the crank on my '94 GSR. I've got Manley rods and have no clue as to what size these rods are. Also there are numbers on the rod boxes that were written in pen. 152.3 is on the top of one box and 390.8 is on the bottom of the same box. the numbers vary from box to box. How much should I expect to pay for a set of OEM bearings?

I'd call Manley and ask.

If they aren't of any help, just get 1 set of OEM Honda green's, and mic/plastigage those in all of the rods. Then see if and how much you need to step up or down.

The numbers might be cross-weights for the big-end and small-end, but I don't know much about that since I have no experience with that part of the rotating assy balancing.

 

Cool, i shot an E-mail to them.

how much are the honda bearings?

I can't remember exactly until I get back home, but I think it's around $13 to $15 for a pair of rod bearings and $18 for a set of main bearings, then $9 for a pair of thrust bearings.

 

dang, i still havent gotten areply from them yet. I'll probobly just pick up a set of greens and plastigauge them.

 

a second email is again unanswered.. somebody here has got to know these rod sizes before I start blindly spending some money.

 

No one was able to answer this and I have not gotten a response from them. I bought a set of bearings for Eagle Rods, but then sold them. I know the Eagles were #3. Now that I have the Full Race/Manley, should I assume they are #3 as well. I plan to use plastigauge, but wanted to see if some one had an answer before I started to assemble everything.

 

Last night, I checked the clearance for my GSR Manley turbo rod with acl bearing. They came out to be 0.0015 for all four. My crank code for the rod jounals are C.
Edit.
