The bearings on a B16a (non CTR) and B18a/b share the same rod bearings.

 

but what about main bearings ?? i take it thrust washers are the same for any bseries as well ?

 

the bottom end bearings on B16a and b18a/b are all the same

 

According to my bearing chart, the B16 uses
- 4B1910 Rod Bearings
- 5M1959H Main Bearings

The B18c uses:
- 4B1946 Rod Bearings
- 5M1959H Main Bearings

The thrust washer is the same for both applications. If you need a Race Series Bearing Chart, let me know. Also, are these coated bearings? If you have been thru the motor that many times, why not get a little insurance from the coating?

 

we are not discussing the B18c

we are talking of the bearing similarities of the B16a and the B18<FONT COLOR="red"><FONT SIZE="3">a/b</FONT></FONT>
