I just plastigaged my stock Rod bearings and everyone of them read .001 for all of them. Would i have to purchase Green Rod bearings? or upgrade to another color because the stock ones are on the edge of being bigger then .001!!!! HELP!

 

If you're in spec still.....then go ahead and buy the regular colors that are on there. They'll be tighter than the tolerances that you have now.

 

Ok cool.... Would i be better off getting ACL's or Honda OEM bearings? My friend works at honda so i get parts wholesale price so money doesn't matter just quality.

 

Stick with OEM Honda one.....only problem I had was that most honda dealerships in my area don't stock the bearings....so they had to special order. With my luck.. I needed green rod bearings...which were out of stock...and had to be shipped from east coast....so my suggestion is that if you need OEM honda rod bearings ...be prepared to order them asap cause you could be waiting up to 2 weeks + for bearings.

 

If it's wider than the bar marked .0010", then that means the clearance is less than .0010".

Anybody got the rod oil bearing clearance specs (B18B)?

Side comment: And, the backorder thing set my mind on getting the ACL's. The lower cost was a plus too.
