Re: acl sizing help
I would suggest buying bearings from honda, its a little more expensive, I went that route so I know I wont have any problems. if it is off a little you can just swap half a bearing for the size difference you are looking for and you should be set. which didnt make much sense to me but the size incraments are so tiny, motor shops and old guy machinists all tell me thats acceptable.

ACL's standard size is supposed to be like a green bearing, but they seem to be a hair closer to the brown's lately. And since your journal sizes are kinda all over, probably better off just getting the according honda sizes and plasti-gauging them anyway.
