im running an ls block, with ls crank, and gsr maincaps to run the gsr girdle. which bearings do i use, b18c1/c5 or b18a/b?

 

correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that the B16/B17/B18/b20 Bearings are the Same since the Cranks are interchangable.

 

ok, that is what i thought. the only thing that threw me off was when i was ordering it had the 2 different options; b18c1/c5 and b18a/a.

i think they are the same though, however someone PLEASE correct me if i am wrong.

 

The bearings are the same, but you will have to get the sizes and bearing colors from the shop that align bores the block.

 

The bearings are not the same ! the Noch are on diffrent sides and the width of the b18c1/c5 smaller than the b18a/b bearings . thats for rods and the mains should be the same but i think the c1/c5 width are smaller too.

oh ok.. i think they are the same except the trust washers are diff ..

 

I know for a fact that the ls and gsr bearing are not the same. I have both of them in my posession. The gsr bearings are not as wide.

 

get clevite

 

Main bearings are the same. Rod bearings are different. You MUST align bore the mains when using mains from another block.

ok if main bearings are the same then that is all i have to worry about because it is an ls block except for the gsr block girdle.

ls crankand rods. and the block is being bored and honed so that is not a worry

Boring and honing the cylinders is not the same thing as align boring the mains.
Have the mains align bored!
