or at least thats what i'm shooting for after my build and turbo is done. I'm going to do pistons, rods and new valve seals on my b16a and i just want to make sure I have everthing I need before going into it.
Please let me know if anything is missing from this list
Eagle H beam rods pressed with Wiseco 81mm std bore pistons
ball hone
assembly lube
top end gasket kit (everything for valve seals)
oil pan gasket
oil filter
oil
coolant
bearings

I need to know what kind of bearings i should get as well.... Thanks

OEM for the overtake.

get the color codes from your crank journals and order the appropriate bearings from slhondaparts.com or hondaautomotiveparts.com

what do you mean color codes? do i have to actually look at the crank to find them or is it a general thing

FooK

actually im going to retract what i said.

when you mic out the crank and rods, and get your measurements, honda bearings are color coded for thickness, you can just order the correspondint code of bearing to the sizes you need.

ACL's tend to come in a "one size fits all" sort of size.


these are color code stamps


and here are the corresponding colors



I dunno if these numbers match they are from a GS-R but they might be the same

I think I'm going to go with the ACL bearings..... whats the diffrence between the race ones and standard? should i go with race?

ne3ek

aww then that means **** did all that for nothing lol

sorry ****, thanks for helping though little fella

you're a poster child for the effectiveness of advertising.

"it says race in it, so it must be better!"

the race bearings are for race motors, ones that get torn down and rebuilt quite often. just go with oem.
