OP was asking about bearings, not what you use for a Assville condom

Thanks Chris.

Common sense pwns you.

You arent changing the crank now are you?
D's and B's have the same rod journal diameter. Figure it out.

I would be more concerned about the fail y8 oil pump myself.

Or the 20-30% smaller oil passages in the block.

I guess ELspool is ELlucky. 8400rpm, every time the car gets driven.

He's also El D-series Maestro.

You can't argue with a known track record for failure, though. Ask any Dealer tech the D16Y sucked, definitely not what you want to build.

What kind of machine work does it require to make LS rods fit on Vitara pistons? Just curious, this is the first time I've heard of this. Whats max HP rating on that setup 250~?

Tom-Guy

Thin the big end so it fits between the narrower D16 crank counterweights, bush the 21mm small end to fit the 19mm D-series wristpin. Requires circlips as the OEM pressed pin stuff won't work.

I have LS rods in my beater with GX pistons; those come with 21mm wristpins tho so it's a pretty sweet way to get 12-12.5 CR in a SOHC or upgrade a rod in a stock CR ZC.

Word, I started replacing spun bearing y series blocks around 5 years ago.

Just get some TT rods and be done with it.
