I'm trying to get some bearings sorted for my b18c block, but the problem i'm facing is that the markings stamped onto the block are unreadable, like I totally can't make anythign out of them. I also don't have immediate access to any proper measuring equipment. Is there any way I can work out the size of the bearings needed from the codes stamped on the old bearings? I know the size of the journals on the crank, and I still have my old bearings, so would it be possible?



Thanks guys!

 

Anyone?

 

can you see the color markers on the old bearings.

 

Where are they? I have what I assume to be the part numbers off the back of them, is that what you mean?

 

not on the back or the front. look at the side[the thin part of the bearing].there should be a color on each side,green,brown,black. if you can see those then you dont need the markings on the block

assuming that the motor has never been opened up and there from the factory. if in doubt plastiguage them,never mind plastigauge them anyway

 

You're a gent It appears that I have 2 black, 2 green and 1 brown (which looks a bit orangey, I assume it's brown)

Thanks

 

yup,that would be a brown. just double check with the plastiguage
