do the rods need to be sized to the crank. I have Eagle Rods and oem crank.

 

No, as long as the rods are for your car, the only thing that has to be matched up are the bearings. Was the crank cut/machined in any way?

 

the prob i am having is i bring the rods to 28 ft. lb and the crank wont move. i got new berings thinking that was the prob and nope still will not move. take the rods off and it spins free as can be.

 

bump before work

 

You gotta measure the rod bearing clearances. It might be too tight, which means you'll have to get another bearing. All in the process of building an engine

 

Are you using OEM bearings?

Do you have a Helms manual?

 

You have to use the appropriate rod to the same crank. For example, if using a LS crank, you need LS Rods. GSR and ITR have the same rod end sizes, so you can interchange GSR and ITR rods on either GSR or ITR cranks. B20 and LS are the same as well.

You didn't answer my question before. Was the crank cut/machined in any way? Many times, when the crank is out, it is cut/micropolished and whatnot. Quite common. If it was, you can't just pop in OEM or whatever bearings in there.

Do what this guy said:

Also remember, Honda DOES NOT make oversized bearings. So if you had your crank cut/machined, you CANNOT use Honda bearings. In my case, I used Clevite bearings. They had the correct size I needed.
