i am stalled in the process of putting eagle h beams in my b18b block. does anyone know which color bearings to use? i do not have my old ones to look at. thanks

 

Get Standards.. dont buy Dealer bearings given I doubt you can color match them to fit.

don't get standard bearings....do it the right way and clearance them in!!!

ok how to clearance them? or you talking measure them and use the honda chart for fit? Last time I saw a honda chart it only gave you a reference of number and letter to get a color to purchase.

I usually use ACL standard bearings and have yet to have a problem with fit on my engine rebuilds

 

i bought acl bearings and they were way off. so does anyone know the sizes that go with the colors?

What do you consider way off?

 

plastiguage them or use some sort of measuring tool because the bore on the eagle rod may not be the same as standard!!

 

i got Clevite STD size bearings with my eagles on the D16Z6

the clearance were perfect... on the .2 side

i say, get standard, plasti gate them, and go from there into oversize or something

that is not perfect for a car that you want reliability on!! hUnda recommends .0013

i am at work and dont have the specs with me

i had it on the plastigate 2 bar ( 0.02, 0.002, 0.2 wichever, i cant remember now, u should know what i mean)
wich means u have it on the loose side a lil bit

Honda makes the clearances to last on a motor for 200k miles
if u want peak performance u want it a lil looser than stock to get better lubrication, less friction and best response

way before this engine reaches another 100k , i will be rebuilding it again.....
so whats ur point?

What makes you think the clearances that Honda recommends for a STOCK engine will be good for an engine designed for high performance with aftermarket parts?
