standard sized bearings and oem
 

ok this is something i never really got. standard sized bearings? i know the oem ones come in diff sizes so how exactly do the standard sized one work? i mean, if the oem ones are diff size how is the aftermarket ---- one size fits all? :1 :S

you wont have the same clearences between everything but .001" isnt enough to worry about unless its to tight :y

All OEM all the time

for crank-bearings i went oem, on the rods std size were within spec..

You're supposed to have your crank cut to fit the one size fits all bearings, which is a dumb thing to do on a Honda anyways. Get OEM

I agree that when using most new rods you can get away with standard size across the board, but you should still plastigage everything to be sure. People that just slap in STD ACLs or similar and don't check clearances are too lazy/cheap to do it the right way and will pay the price sooner or later.

Why is that?

I ilke my bearings like my eggs GREEN

i believe its because Honda cranks are nitride coated from the factory and if you turn them down you have to get them nitride coated again which isn't cheap.

That's one reason

Second reason: It will cost you less to get proper sized OEM bearings than pay for crank machining to fit your ACL greenies.
