Alright, im in the process of trying to complete an ls/vtec...a couple of problems have arose... I want to purchase a set of ARP Main studs, but the problem is i only see them listed anywhere for either a GSR or a B16A...now i know that GSR's had block girdles, and some B16A's did too, but do i use one of these sets or will they be too long due to the girdle clearance the studs have to clear?

Also...the biggest problem i have to figure out is...Block is from one Integra, crank is from another Integra, and rods are from yet another Integra...yep a mutt of a motor. Now, to my knowledges furthest extent, NOTHING has ever been cut (machined). Could i get away with just ordering a standard ACL bearing set, or will the mixture of parts throw it off?

ls \ b16 use the same rod bearing gsr / itr use another as far as girdles go the b16a dosent have one so b16/ls studs are the same. hope this helps

 

okey doke, one problem out of the way, thank you...

Now on with my bearing question.....

 

if the block/ crank allows for..
what are the #'s and letters on the block and crank?

 

The ACL's should work fine for you.You just need to plastigauge to be sure.I would do it even with oem bearings.

what block and what crank are they?

b18a/b b17a b18c??

 

use the color system to determine bearing size, give me the colors you need and
i can get them at a good price.

okay, block is a B18A1, Crank is a B18A1, and the rods are B18B1...

 

just get ls rod and main bearing kit

 

we need the numbers and letters stamped on the block/crank.

you cant always go with acl's; you can only use them if your block/crank allows for.
