not a couple of tenths...more like .0002". Better than most of us can even measure without electronic help.

 

Hey Jason, has your Quaife arrived yet?
There will be no group buys on ACL's. They are tuff to deal with but I will get H-T members discounts off of their prices.
Earl

 

i don't know if you know but a couple of tenths(ten thousandths) of an inch is the same as saying .0002"

 

so I take it then that using these obviates the need to plastigauge everything because there is only one size?

Does this lead to faster wear?

 

Earl,
I got the quaife on Wed. Thank for the hook up. Now hook me up with some ACL bearings.

Does ACL make bearings for the d-series motors?

 

Let me just bump this... I just finished my CRVtec build but I might drop the bottom out again to put some new REASONABLY PRICED bearings in. MORE INFO EARL!!!

 

Yes.

 

so again, excuse the silly question. but, does one size fits all mean that you dont need to plastigauge the bearing sizes any more?

Wouldn't one size fits all mean faster wear if the tolerances are not as close?

thanks

 

No you still have to check the oil clearances with plastiguage or another method.

Those mains and rods come in Std, 25, 50, and 75 sizing. Just like buying engine bearings for old V8 chevys and such. Use the Std size and check clearances.

SLPR.......

 

so the mains and rod bearings sizes will depend on what size rods you get?
I'm planning to build an engine and have never done it before. I'm trying to get as much learning in as possible! If I were to go with Eagle Rods, what size ACL bearings would I get? Or is there more than one size?

So which bearings do I still need to gauge the clearances on? I thought all there was were the mains and rod bearings. If they are too tight, you get too much wear from all the heat you generate without enough oil in there.

Please enlighten me, master!

 

You are going to have to play with swapping the bearings around to get more clearance as there is some variation in bearing thickness just as there is variation in journal and bore diameter. You may even want to get a loose Honda bearing mixed in there.

You are right, a certain amount of clearance is necessary for a proper rate of flow past the bearings to keep everything cool. Bearing back plate to bore contact is also key to keeping bearing cool. The ACL catalog describes how to check this.

 

Not sure what you mean Teken.

 

Yes, there are bearings specified for this motor.

 

when will price, avaliability, and ordering info be ready?

 

Hey Earl, do they make a set my motor too? H22A1

 

gruveytune, if you get eagle rods in std size then you would get std size bearings and so on. i don't use plastigauge to check my oil clearance, i use a dial bore gauge to check the mains and a Sunnen machine to check the rods by measuring the inside diameter of the bearings and comparing it to crankpin(rods) or main journals. you always wanna check oil clearance no matter which bearing brand you buy. the bearings thickness will only vary from zero to a couple tenths(ten thousandths) of an inch from the others in the set. so usualy you only have to check the oil clearances for one of the mains/rods, thats if the main journals, crankpin, rod housing bore, and main housing bore is all within the same size of each other. for those using plastigauge, make sure to warm it up to room temperature before using it, this will give you a more accurate reading

 

im definately in if there is a groupbuy/discount.
hell, if they are cheaper than honda thats all that matters

 

Available for H series and D series motors.

 

man that sux, they should have bearings for the most popular B series.

put in a request to make some for b18b

 

They are available for the B18A and B18b motors. In fact they are available for most motors.

Have you guys ever seen bearings damaged from using a solid under drive pulley? I would like to run one but not if its going to cost me my main bearings.

 

Keep your balancer and don't run the solid pulley. They do hurt cranks and bearings. In this case, Honda knows best.

 

cool, but aren't the honda n1 crank pulley's solid?
