I have a B18a1 Crank and Eagle 4340 H-Beam Rods. I need to know what size or brand Bearings to get.

 

You should go with the stock color code honda bearings or use ACL bearings.

 

Explain the color code please. And would I ask for Main and Rods bearings for a B18a1 from ACL?

 

There are numbers on your crankshaft, main bearing caps and connecting rods if you have a helms manual those numbers correspond to a color. Since not all of the engines are exactly the same you can get the right bearing by ordering the color that matches the numbers. If you had the journals machined the numbers will not work. That is the best way to do it but since you have eagle rods there won't be any numbers on the rod so you can use the factory rod numbers order those bearings put them on the eagle rods then plastigage them to assure that they are within spec. I have eagle rods on my b18a and I used ACL bearings they are cheaper and some people say that they are better but who knows.

 

Thanks alot for the info.

So do you have a site for acl?

Try searching on honda-tech there are lots of discussions about them.

 

the eagle rods are supposed to be sized as #3 on the bearing chart. but i would still check your tolerances.
