if they are stock bearings they will have the color on the side of the bearings and then you just get some new ones that are the same and you should be good to go
and how much did you pay for the pistons and are they for std. bore.?

Re: mainbears/rodbearings... ??
 

Well I haven't bought them yet. I called summit racing and asked them if they had any wisecos in stock for the f22. they said they didn't but I could call wiseco and get a part number for them and then order them through summit.

So I call up wiseco and they said theyve only made them for race enginering down in florida I called and they have some in stock stock bore and 20 overs for 430 not a bad price but then the catch came. the 430 price was without rings and they wanted $80 more for the rings. So I said thank you good day and hung up. ---- that I'm not paying 430 for pistons and then have to pay 80 more for the rings. but if you want some this is their number 561-533-5500

I just decided to go with arias pistons from summit here a link http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...839001&NeXID=5

Re: mainbears/rodbearings... ??
 

i was also looking at the arias pistons but when i saw you had the wiseco pistons i thought they may be a little cheaper since there aren't to many options here

Re: mainbears/rodbearings... ??
 

Yeah I was looking the same way hpoing to save 70 bucks. But oh well,I'm not going to buy pistons and then have to buy the damn rings seperatly it's just to much like a marketing ploy to me like those body kits they used to sell on ebay. the kit costs 1.99 and the shipping is like 400 bucks ---- that I'm going with the arias pistons even though the price in the end isn't any differant But because at least the actual price to get the part is listed honestly.

oh and when you order a piston and ring kit for a stock bore do you stil have to adjust the ring gap or is that usaully done already?

Re: mainbears/rodbearings... ??
 

i sure don't know about the ring gap but do you know where to get a decent set of rods for a decent price

Re: mainbears/rodbearings... ??
 

It's a good idea to do it regardless. Rings don't come pre-gapped. Always check it yourself.

Re: mainbears/rodbearings... ??
 

i used a set of clevite 77's on my ZC flat rate rebuild. it held for about 2 years then the rings went out. ive yet to pull the oil pan to see if it danmaged anything.

if i had the time and money i would go OEm but i dont so eh.

Re: mainbears/rodbearings... ??
 

Yeah if figure it would be a good idea to check it anyway.

I haven't been able to find any rods for a reasonable price.most people in the forums ive check in say they had to get them ordered special.

Re: mainbears/rodbearings... ??
 

use ACL bearings, spec it out, replaced the bearings that is out of spec with Honda OEM bearings. That's what i did and the engine is still running strong after 40k and use synthetic oil after that.

thumbs up for ACL bearings

Re: mainbears/rodbearings... ??
 

can someone make a sticky of all the clearances and colors? or are there too many variables? either way some1 should , its good info and more and more people are building these days...
