Figured I might as well continue on with my LS/vtec build since I have all the parts laying around. Ran into a slight snag (maybe) on the #3 crank bearing...I plastigauged it out, and it's coming up at .025mm clearance, or .001 thousandths. Everything I've found on #3 clearance is supposed to be .030-.048mm clearance (.0012-.0019"). Think I'll end up spinning this bearing if I just say the hell with it and leave it tight? :P It's so ------' close and I really don't want to have to drive an hour to the honda dealership just to order 2 bearings. Everything else specs out great...all except for bastard #3.

I did the same ---- on my Y8 build on #2 bearing. Spun a bearing at about 800 miles on new motor :1

Yeah, I just talked to a machinist earlier about it...he said don't do it. Looks like it's off to Honda I go :1
